England U21 vs Germany U21 Predictions

• Germany U21 had just two shots on target in their 2-1 win over England U21 in the group stage.
• Harvey Elliott has scored four goals in this competition.
• Both teams have scored in four of England U21’s five games this tournament.

Revenge on the cards for the Young Lions

Germany U21 beat England U21 in their final group-stage game of the 2025 U21 European Championship, but the Young Lions may be able to exact some revenge and successfully defend their title in Bratislava on Saturday.

England were unfortunate to lose that group game earlier this month, having 18 shots to Germany’s five and conceding from both of the Germans’ shots on target. Lee Carsley’s side had the bulk of possession and generated 1.63 expected goals to their opponents’ 0.65.

However, England bounced back in style, securing wins over Spain and the Netherlands, with Harvey Elliott playing a starring role in both victories. The 22-year-old has scored four goals in this competition, and he looks a big price to make an impact on the final on Saturday.

That could help the defending champions to a win against a Germany side that were flattered by their 3-0 win over France and required extra time to see off Italy in the quarter-finals.

Antonio Di Salvo’s side have allowed their opponents 30 shots in the knockout stages, while England limited the Dutch to just six attempts and 0.15 expected goals in their semi-final triumph.

All signs point towards an England win, and, with England conceding in four of their five games this tournament, a reversal of their 2-1 defeat in the group stage could be in store.
