Poland vs Georgia: Euro U-21 Prediction (12.06.2025)

On Thursday night, June 12 at 02:00 WIB, at the “Pod Dubnem” stadium in Zilina, the Poland U-21 national team will face their peers from Georgia in the opening match of Group C of the UEFA U-21 European Championship. France and Portugal are also in this group.

In the Poland vs Georgia clash, bookmakers’ predictions lean towards a Poland victory. Odds for a win by the “white-reds” stand at 2.05, for a draw at 3.40, and for a “crusaders” win at 3.68. The over 2.5 total goals market is set at 2.18, indicating that football analysts do not expect a particularly high-scoring game. Both teams to score is offered at 1.93.

Poland

Adam Majewski’s team reached the final tournament by finishing second in a group that also included Germany, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Israel, and Estonia. The “White Eagles” won seven out of ten matches, scoring 24 goals and conceding ten.

Key players in the squad include Antoni Kozubal from Lech Poznan, Szymon Włodarczyk from Salernitana, and Michal Rakoczy from Ankaragücü. The Polish youth team has shown strong attacking form, having scored three goals each in their last two friendlies against their Danish and Ukrainian counterparts.

Georgia

Ramaz Svanadze’s team also finished second in their qualifying group but had to go through a playoff to secure a place in the UEFA U-21 European Championship, where they faced Croatia. Georgia won the home leg 1:0 but lost the away leg 2:3. They secured their place in the final tournament through a penalty shootout.

Unlike Poland, the Georgian youth team did not show a particularly high scoring record during qualifying. Over ten matches, they scored only 14 goals and conceded ten. One notable player is goalkeeper Luka Kharatishvili from Dinamo Batumi, who has been solid between the posts.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

From 2007 to 2018, the teams met four times, with Poland’s youth team winning all of them. However, the relevance of such old matches is limited.

Prediction

Both teams are considered underdogs in a group featuring France and Portugal. A win in the opening match would give them a chance to fight for a surprise result in the next rounds. Expect both teams to be highly motivated and play for a win, so we recommend betting on over 2 total goals at odds of 1.64.
