Slovenia vs Czech Republic: Euro U-21 Prediction (19.06.2025)

In the early hours of Thursday, June 19 at 02:00 WIB, the Slovenia and Czech Republic U-21 national teams will face off in the third and final group stage match of Group B at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship. The match will take place at MOL Aréna in Dunajská Streda. Both teams are currently at the bottom of the group, but Slovenia still has a theoretical chance to finish second if they secure a big win and England loses in the parallel match against Germany. The Czech side, however, has suffered two defeats and lost all chances of advancing to the quarter-finals.

Slovenia

Andrej Razdrh’s team once again proved in their second group-stage match that young Slovenians are masters of securing draws. In their last six matches, including friendlies, the green-and-whites have drawn four times.

It is worth noting that unlike the Czechs, Slovenia has yet to score a goal in this tournament. Against England, they fully surrendered the initiative, losing the shot count 7:20. However, shots on target were even at 3:3. Under England’s pressure, the Slovenians played with great discipline and didn’t receive a single yellow card.

Czech Republic

Jan Suchopárek’s side tried to go toe-to-toe with England, but that led to several defensive breakdowns and a frustrating defeat. In that match, the young Czechs failed to convert a couple of clear scoring chances. Against Germany, things went differently. The Germans dominated and were already 4-0 ahead by the 60th minute. Nevertheless, the Czechs managed to score two consolation goals.

The coach relies on a striking duo of Daniel Fila from Venezia and Václav Sejk from Famalicão. So far, their goal-scoring potential hasn’t fully materialized. Perhaps that will change in this final group match.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The Slovenia and Czech Republic U-21 teams met three times in 2021. Two matches ended in 1-1 draws, and one was won by the Czech side with a 1-0 scoreline.

Prediction

Making a prediction for Slovenia vs Czech Republic is not easy. Slovenia will try to win, holding onto slim hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals. The Czech side will play for pride, aiming not to leave the Euros with three straight defeats. Unlike their opponents, the Czech youngsters are more attack-oriented. Although that was difficult to show against the group’s heavyweights, now they need to demonstrate their strength. We suggest betting on the Czech Republic to score over 1 goal.
