Spain U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction & Betting tips
Deja-Vu in Italy! As was the case two years ago, in 2019 in the final of the U21 European Championship, the junior national teams of Germany and Spain face each other! Both teams started as a top favorite in the tournament and fight on Sunday evening for the title win in the Dacia Arena, the home of Serie A club Udinese Calcio.
Will the Kuntz-Elf succeed in defending the title? Or will Spain equal Italy with hosts Italy and celebrate the title for the fifth time in this age group? For the German offspring it would be after 2009 and 2017, the third title win. The bookmakers favor in the final between Germany and Spain, according to current quotas, the Iberians. The game starts on Sunday evening at 19:45 – a hot final is expected, but no tropical temperatures to the 40 degrees.
Spain:
The Spanish selection is riddled with many players who no longer deserve the term “talent”, but can undoubtedly be called true stars. Accordingly, the team of head coach Luis de la Fuente was one of the very, very big favorites for the title win in Italy from the beginning. However, the tournament did not start as desired against the hosts and the opening defeat seemed to be the semifinals – and also the Olympic ticket in the distance.
A long shot in the second game brought Spain on course. Pablo Fornals’ force shot (which was counterfeited) was probably the can opener for the U21 selection of the “Furia Roja”. In the last group match Poland (until then with two wins) downright presented and outclassed. The 5: 0 paved the way to group victory. Spain played into a veritable intoxication and the joy of playing was then also seen in the firefighting duel with France. Despite an early back, Spain did not let up and turned the game shortly before or after half time. Four goals against the strong French defense are a strong piece, Spain took a sovereign victory and may continue to dream of the fifth title win.
The Spanish offensive could have made the game even clearer against France, but in the closing stages one or the other option was played a bit negligently. This performance has not only left an impression on the fans, but also on the bookmakers. After this gala presentation Spain is against Germany according to current quotas as the very clear favorite. With a fictitious total market value of 437 million euros, the selection is also rated significantly higher than the peers from Germany (314 million euros).
Germany :
Really happy, the German players should not have been that the semi-finals were exchanged. Instead of 21 clock had the Kuntz-Elf already at 18 o’clock play the game against the unorthodox acting Romanians. A heat battle was inevitable and the players had to exceed the limits at temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. Romania played a very fierce football and could even push the game over long stretches of Germany. Shortly before the half-time whistle George Puscas could bring the blatant outsider in the lead. However, Germany managed to equalize shortly after the restart and made the decision in an extremely hectic final phase. With two goals in the final minutes of the match, the fourth U21 European Championship final was secured.
DFB head coach Jogi Löw praised the youngsters in the highest tones and was impressed by the playing style of the U21 selection. U21 head coach Stefan Kuntz could now win the second big title. Not surprising that he is already traded as Löw successor. Kuntz is considered an excellent motivator, who has a good relationship with his youngsters.
The will, the enthusiasm and the passion can be seen in almost every game situation, but Spain is now a much stronger opponent than the Romanian selection. The Germany offspring must present themselves for the title defense certainly better and act more stable especially on the defensive. Already in the last group match against Austria many chances were allowed, the Spanish offensive will not let these possibilities lie negligently. In this crash between Spain and Germany also irritates the forecast that both teams meet. With twelve (Spain) and 14 (Germany) goals, both teams have cheered several times.
