Denmark vs France: Euro U-21 Prediction (22.06.2025)

On Sunday, June 22 at 23:00 WIB, the U-21 national teams of Denmark and France will face off at the “1 FC Tatran” stadium in Prešov in the quarterfinals of the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Denmark advanced to this stage as the winners of Group D, having secured two victories over Ukraine (3-2) and the Netherlands (2-1). Meanwhile, France finished second in Group C, behind Portugal based on goal difference.

In the Denmark vs France match, bookmakers favor “Les Bleuets.” A bet on Denmark to win in regular time has odds of 3.84, while their odds to advance to the semifinals are 2.58. For France, the same markets are priced at 1.90 and 1.46, respectively. The total over 2.5 goals is priced at a modest 1.53, suggesting expectations for a high-scoring game. The odds for both teams to score are 1.51.

Denmark

Steffen Højer’s squad were already considered underdogs in their group stage match against the Netherlands. Indeed, they did not control the game and surrendered territorial advantage. However, that is exactly the playing style of the “red and whites” when facing technically superior teams. Denmark willingly gives up initiative but relies on sharp counterattacks. Against the Dutch, the Danish youngsters converted nearly all of their chances, earning a comeback victory after conceding early.

France

Gérard Baticle brought a truly star-studded squad to Slovakia. The team emphasizes attacking play, as evidenced by their dominant first-half performance against Poland in the final group match. The front line features young talents such as Jaures Cissé from Rennes, Loum Tchaouna from Lazio, Thierno Barry from Villarreal, and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya from Eintracht Frankfurt. Many of these players are already part of the first teams in top European clubs and have experience in continental competitions. However, there are occasional lapses in defense, such as the one seen in the match against Georgia.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

At the 2021 edition of the same tournament, these teams met in the group stage, where Denmark narrowly won 1-0.

Prediction

Denmark is capable of surprising any opponent, so we won’t risk betting on a clear favorite as seen by the bookmakers. A safer pick is over 3 total goals at odds of 1.87.
