Germany U21 Team News
Germany U21 are coming into this tournament on the back of strong friendlies in March, having beaten Spain 3-1, Slovakia 1-0, and drawing 2-2 with France in November of last year.
Their coach, Antonio Di Salvo, who extended his contract to 2027, leads a side that reached three straight finals and lifted trophies in 2017 and 2021.

The squad often charge with high-speed vertical attacks, where two wingers play crucial roles by making runs behind the defensive line and delivering cutbacks or crosses into the penalty box. In their 3-1 victory over Spain, they secured 48% possession and consistently played through the flanks.
Recently, their attack averages 2.85 goals per game, with a focus on high pressing and fluid midfield rotations.
So, Germany U21 have a photoshoot 😎 Finally!!

Germany’s forward momentum comes from disciplined preparation under Di Salvo, paired with adaptable attacking patterns, whether through central or wing variation. Their midblock pressing disrupts opponents like Spain and Slovakia.
Key players Nick Woltemade (worth €24 M) spearhead their attack, while the midfield is filled with well-disciplined ball‑winners and carriers like Brajan Gruda, Ansgar Knauff, or Rocco Reitz.

Slovenia U21 Team News
Slovenia lost 0-1 to Finland and drew 1-1 with Ukraine in March friendlies. Before that, they had a streak of six consecutive matches without losses in Euro Qualification.
Coach Andrej Razdrh, new at the helm since February 2025, prefers a defensive style of play with compactness and fast transitions. Razdrh, like his successor Milenko Ačimovič, favours a 4‑2‑3‑1/4-4-2 formation with a low block and quick attacks once possession is regained.

In qualifiers, they limited Austria and Cyprus to minimal chances through structured shape and used vertical passing on turnovers. Against stronger opposition, they drop deep but remain solid, absorbing pressure.
Svit Šešlar is their creative playmaker between the lines; if he finds space, Slovenia can threaten on counterattacks.
Slovenia’s approach is to stay compact, sit in two banks of four, and invite pressure before transitioning quickly with their winger or strikers. Their biggest chance will come from counters; they need Šešlar to stay active.
Slovenia U21 predicted lineup vs Germany U21
Slovenia U21 predicted lineup vs Germany U21 (4-5-2): Turk; Milic, Lampreht, Kuzmić, Đapo; Pišek, Krupić, Šešlar, Pečar, Cipot; Bosilj
Bet hereGermany U21 vs Slovenia U21 Prediction
- Pick: Total Under 3.5
- Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Germany U21 1-0 Slovenia U21
Slovenia have already shown their highly organised defensive play by earning points against the strong U-21 French team, who featured players like Désiré Doué and Mathys Tel.
The Slovenian squad are capable of limiting the attacking potential of the German youths by using a compact low block formation. This ensures complete coverage of the flanks.

Germany possess significant attacking strength, often scoring two to three goals against their opponents. However, in their qualifying match with Slovakia, which defended in a deep block, they netted only once.
On Thursday, against Slovenia, it’s reasonable to anticipate a few goals scored. Therefore, Total Under 3.5 goals seems like a sensible choice.
Germany U21 vs Slovenia U21 Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Germany U21 to win
- Odds: 1.41 (22Bet)
Despite the excellent defensive performance expected from Slovenia, Germany are clearly the favorite in this match. They showed remarkable cohesion in attack in 2024, impressing opponents with their attacking variety.
Several players in their attacking lineup can score or provide assists. Overall, the quality of the hosting squad appears significantly stronger than that of the Slovenian team.
Therefore, we anticipate a victory for Germany.
