Germany U21 to Face Israel U21 in European Youth Championship Group Stage
In the first round of Group C in the group stage of the European Youth Championship, the national teams of Germany and Israel will go head-to-head. The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place on June 22 at 19:00 Moscow time.
Germany’s U21 team had a strong performance in the qualifying stage, finishing their campaign with a victory over Israel, Poland, and Hungary. The team accumulated an impressive 27 points from 10 rounds, suffering only one defeat. Prior to the start of the tournament, Germany won five consecutive matches, with four of them being clean sheets.
The German team showcased their form right before the start of the Youth Euros by defeating Switzerland 3-1 in a friendly match. In March, they also had a draw against Japan (2-2) and Romania. Germany’s U21 team emerged as the winners in the previous Euro, defeating Portugal 1-0 in the final. If they secure victory this year, it will be their third win in the last four editions and their fourth overall.
On the other hand, Israel’s U21 team had to go through the playoffs after finishing second in Group B, just one point ahead of Poland. They faced Ireland in the playoffs and managed to knock them out of the tournament in a penalty shoot-out. In the group stage of qualifying, Israel secured six wins, one draw, and suffered three defeats. They have not lost in the tournament for three consecutive matches.
Following the qualifying stage, Israel played five friendly matches, but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful, suffering defeats against Belgium (0-2) and Switzerland (1-2). Israel did not participate in the last edition of the tournament as they failed to pass the qualification stage, finishing third in their group.
The Germans are considered the clear favorites for the upcoming match, as they have had no major issues against Israel in the qualifying stage, defeating them twice (1-0, 3-2). Germany’s winning streak against Israel extends to five matches. The recent match against Switzerland showcased Germany’s good form, making them a strong bet for victory. Germany has often won by a margin of two or more goals in this Euro. The forecast for the match is a Germany win with a -1.5 handicap at 1.95.
Expect an exciting game as four out of Germany’s five Euro matches have ended with three or four goals. A bet on a total over 3 goals is accepted with odds of 1.98.
The match between Germany U21 and Israel U21 promises to be a thrilling encounter, with Germany being the favorites to secure victory. Football fans and bettors alike will be eagerly watching the outcome of this highly anticipated clash.
