Czech Republic U21 vs Germany U21 Preview and Team News

Czech Republic U21 Team News

The odds will be stacked against Jan Suchopárek’s U21 men. They’ll face the daunting prospects of England and Germany if they’re to reach the next round. History is also not on their side, having not qualified from the group stage since their run to the semi-finals in 2011.

The Czech Republic also come into the EUROs with a poor defensive record, having allowed at least two goals in each of their previous two internationals. Suchopárek is likely to revert to the 3-4-2-1 system that saw the nation land a shock 2-0 win over Belgium in November.

In the first match of Euro 2025 against England (1-3), their reactive posture and 

cautious buildup were repeatedly exposed by England’s energetic wing play and higher pressing, which limited Czechia’s opportunities and ultimately left their back three vulnerable, leading to a 3‑1 defeat.

The key to the formation working revolves around Adam Karabec and Denis Višinský working hard to cover the space in midfield. With the ball, the attackers will operate in wider roles to make room for the number nine. However, when the squad don’t have possession, the players will drop into midfield to form six.

Antonio Di Salvo will have a talented squad at his disposal, as Germany chase their fourth EURO U21 honor. However, a dip in quality being developed saw the club fall in the 2023 group stage, losing two of their three fixtures.

But that poor performance is behind them after winning three of their previous four internationals. Their expansive 4-2-3-1 formation was seen to best effect before the start of the EUROs after beating Spain 3-1.

Germany U21 started their Euro 2025 campaign with a 3-0 victory over Slovenia, displaying a tactically sharp performance. In possession, they relied heavily on Nick Woltemade’s movement, dropping in between the lines and dragging defenders out of position, creating spaces for Nicolo Tresoldi and Brajan Gruda to exploit through intelligent link-up play and incisive passes.

The fluid attacking system not only maximized Woltemade’s positional skills but also allowed him to display his clinical finishing, as he scored three goals for Germany U21 for the second consecutive game.

Nick Woltemade’s clinical nature in front of the goal and ability to run behind defensive lines are keys to their success. They’ll need to be something that the Czech Republic are aware of before this matchday two clash.

Germany U21 predicted lineup vs Czech Republic U21 (4-2-3-1): Atubolu; Collins, Rosenfelder, Arrey-Mbi, Brown; Martel, Reitz; Knauff, Gruda, Nebel; Woltemade.

Czech Republic U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction 

• Pick: Germany U21
• Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Czech Republic 0-2 Germany U21

It could be tricky to overlook the prospects of Di Salvo’s side when making a Czech Republic U21 vs Germany U21 prediction. The visitors have proven efficient in creating chances during their recent internationals. Also, the clinical nature of Woltemade in front of the goal ensures they won’t need many opportunities to make their dominance count. 

Their high-pressing style is also likely to put the Czech Republic under pressure. It could be concerning because of their limited high-quality options in terms of players skilled at taking and playing the ball quickly. Therefore, we anticipate Germany U21 winning this clash without conceding. 

Czech Republic U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Woltemade to Score
• Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)

Nick Woltemade should make his presence felt at the U21 EUROs this Summer. The striker has been in excellent form throughout the season, scoring 12 goals in the Bundesliga. 

That tally outperformed his xG of 10.36. He’s also proven at this level, with his hat-tricks against Spain and Slovenia taking his tally for the U21s to ten goals in 13 appearances.
