France vs Georgia: Euro U-21 Prediction (15.06.2025)

On June 15, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, the U-21 national teams of France and Georgia will face off at the “Pod Dubnom” stadium in Zilina, Slovakia, as part of the UEFA U-21 Euro. This is the second round of Group C, which also includes Portugal and Poland. The French are considered favorites in this matchup. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and offer our prediction for the game.

France

France surprisingly failed to win their qualifying group for the Euro, conceding first place to Slovenia. In eight qualifying matches, Les Bleus claimed five wins, one draw, and two losses, collecting 16 points. Nevertheless, that was enough to secure direct qualification for the final tournament due to their high ranking among second-placed teams.

In the warm-up friendlies before the Euro, France posted strong results: draws against tough opponents like Italy and Germany (both 2–2), and wins over England (5–3), Slovakia (4–0), and Uzbekistan (2–1). In their opening match of the European Championship, France faced Portugal and played to a goalless draw (0–0). Therefore, it is crucial for them to avoid dropping points in this upcoming match.

Georgia

Georgia’s path to the Euro final stage was significantly more difficult. They finished second in Group C, but it wasn’t enough for automatic qualification. In the ranking of second-place teams, Georgia came in ninth, meaning they had to go through the playoffs. Their opponent was Croatia—one of the qualifying favorites who also missed out on a direct ticket. The Euro spot was decided via a penalty shootout, in which Georgia prevailed.

In preparation for the tournament, the team played three friendlies. In March, they defeated Finland (4–2) and Serbia (3–1), but narrowly lost to Romania (0–1). In the Euro opener, Georgia claimed a vital 2–1 victory over Poland. This win gives them a good chance of advancing from the group, but they will still need at least a draw in this match.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The teams have only met three times. The statistics are entirely in France’s favor. Les Bleus beat Georgia 5–1 in a 2016 friendly. They also won twice in Euro qualifying—3–2 at home and 2–0 away in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Prediction

In the France vs Georgia match, the prediction leans toward the French side. They are more motivated and have a deeper squad. The head-to-head stats also favor them. After a draw in the first round, France will be even more determined. Therefore, we suggest betting on France to win with a –1 handicap.
