Austria U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction & Betting tips
Five of the twelve teams in the U21 European Championship have spent the title win as a goal. In the face of the existing squad, hosts Italy, Spain, England, France and defending champion Germany are expected to make a big splash. However, only one team knew about it so far – the defending champion from Germany showed two courageous performances and each celebrated clear victories. In the last group match between Germany and Austria, the Kuntz-Elf already draws for the semi-final move!
From the Austrian point of view, games against the “big brother” are always a very special matter. For the players from Germany is a duel with Austria but rather “business as usual”. Victories of the Austrian team against Germany are a rarity and are accordingly brought over and over again from the memory box. Among the under 21-year-olds there was still no victory of Austria against the big brother. Also on Sunday evening Germany is against Austria according to current odds of the house-high favorite, start of the game is at 20 clock.
Austria:
For the first time, the Austrian U21 selection is represented at a European Championship and was able to celebrate a highly deserved 2-0 victory against the secret favorites from Serbia in the debut with an outstanding performance. After this victory dreams were still allowed, but the red-white-red U21 selection was torn from this dream. In the match against Denmark, the Austrians could not start from the beginning of the opening game. On the one hand, the failure of the neo-Leipziger Hannes Wolf could not be compensated in the approach, on the other hand Austria looked tired and anything but fresh.
For many players the three-day rhythm is a new experience and seems to be a – still – too big a challenge. Austria acted against Serbia still with rapid Umschaltspiel, against Denmark, the Gregoritsch protégés tried more to take the magazine in their own hands. However, Denmark was the dominant team right from the start and made many chances. Despite clear inferiority, Austria must mourn a victory – or at least a better result. At the score of 1: 1 there was a penalty, but forgave the recently substitute Hoffenheim Christoph Baumgartner. Subsequently, it still set two goals.
As strong as the performance was in the first game, the performance on the early Thursday evening against the peers from Austria was all the more disappointing. Nevertheless, the Olympic dream continues. Should Denmark fail against Serbia, every win would bring Austria into the semi-finals. In a Danish victory, Austria would have to win with three goals against the DFB team – but this case is probably just a wishful thinking. Never has the ÖFB team won against their big brother. Arguments that speak for a tip on the outsider between Germany and Austria are not to be found after the games on Thursday evening.
Germany U21:
After two group matches, the defending champion also became this year’s top favorite! While in the other co-favorites either the results or the opportunity utilization did not fit, the Kuntz-elf currently the needle in the haystack must be searched in order to be able to criticize. The sovereign 3: 1-opening victory against Denmark was already a sign to the competition. There was a real gala performance on Thursday night against Serbia.
The Serbs, for many experts one of the secret favorites, were completely overwhelmed with an outstanding DFB team. Compared to the Denmark game Germany pushed even more on the pace and always sought the direct way forward. The logical consequence was opportunities in abundance. In the end, Germany was able to give the Serbian team half a dozen goals. Outstanding was the Freiburg Luca Waldschmidt, on whose account three goals went.
After the game, Stefan Kuntz was pleased with the performance of his own team, but also cautioned. If there is a defeat against Austria and the DFB-Elf would have to start the journey home, nobody would talk more about the two strong performances. The concentration must be kept high in order to be able to fix the minimum goal in the form of the Olympic qualification.
A draw would be enough, but this would be a ride on the knife edge, because a goal could mean the end. Stefan Kuntz will certainly take no chances and dare experiments. The DFB-Elf is full of self-confidence and wit. In this condition is between Germany and Austria the prognosis on the victory of the DFB Elf absolute obligation! The team will be able to create dangerous chances against Austria with the existing speed!
