Germany vs Slovenia: Euro U-21 Prediction (13.06.2025)

On June 13, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, at the “Pod Zoborom” Stadium in Nitra (Slovakia), a match will take place between the Germany and Slovenia U-21 national teams as part of the Euro U-21 Championship. England and the Czech Republic are also in the same group. Therefore, the results of the opening matches will be crucial for both teams. The bookmakers consider the German team to be the clear favorite. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and give our prediction for this match.

Germany

The German team is considered one of the strongest contenders in this U-21 European Championship. This comes as no surprise, considering the quality of players available to Antonio Di Salvo. Several players have already proven themselves at club level. For example, Freiburg representatives like goalkeeper Noah Atubolu and defender Mark Rosenfeld have played consistently. Additionally, Paul Nebel from Mainz and Rocco Reitz from Borussia Monchengladbach are also worth mentioning. One of the most dangerous players in the German U-21 team is Nick Woltemade. The nearly 2-meter-tall striker has even debuted with the senior German national team.

Germany demonstrated their strength during the qualifiers. The German U-21 team topped their group, leaving behind Poland, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Estonia, and Israel.

Slovenia

Slovenia does not have such big names in their squad. Even at club level, their representation is relatively modest. They have no players from the top European leagues. Nevertheless, Slovenia’s main strength lies not in individual skill but in their team play. They show strong cohesion and understanding on the field. Slovenia is not particularly known for high-scoring games, but their defense is very solid. Their main weapons against individually stronger opponents are counterattacks and set pieces.

Slovenia proved that they could surprise by finishing first in their qualifying group, ahead of France, Austria, Cyprus, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, bookmakers are still skeptical about Slovenia’s chances in the main phase of the Euro U-21, considering them the underdogs of their group. The odds of Slovenia winning the group stand at 20.00.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

The Germany and Slovenia U-21 teams have only met twice before, both in friendly matches. In 2009, Germany won decisively with a score of 3-0. However, in 2020, the teams played to a 1-1 draw.

Prediction

For the match between Germany and Slovenia, our prediction favors a victory for Germany. The German team appears to be stronger and more experienced than their opponent. Many of their players already have experience playing at a high level with their clubs, which could be the deciding factor. Therefore, we recommend betting on Germany to win with a handicap of –1 at odds of 1.67.
