Germany face Italy in the quarter-finals of the UEFA U21 Championship, with a place in the last four up for grabs.

The Italians are having a good tournament and are unbeaten so far. However, the Germans finished the group stage with a 100% record and given their fine record in this fixture, should come out on top.

Germany U21 Form


Germany were touted as one of the pre-tournament favourites and have looked the part since their very first game. Antonio Di Salvo’s team won all three of their matches in the group stage, finishing with a 2-1 victory over England in their last fixture.

The goals have flowed freely for Germany, who scored at least two goals in each of their three group matches. All three of their fixtures also produced over 2.5 goals while they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two matches. 

Germany's impressive form did not just start in Slovakia as they are unbeaten in their last 18 matches across all competitions, a run stretching back to 2023. They have won five of their last six matches, claiming some big scalps in that run, including a 3-1 victory over Spain and a 3-0 win over Denmark.

Italy U21 Form


Italy are unbeaten in the competition and finished second in Group A behind Spain. They began with wins over Slovakia and Romania before playing out a 1-1 draw with the Spaniards in their final group stage fixture.

The Italians have not been as prolific as their rivals, having failed to score more than one goal in each of their matches so far. Although they kept clean sheets in their opening two matches, the clash against Spain suggests Carmine Nunziata’s team may be vulnerable to dynamic forward lines.
 
Italy’s overall recent form has not been that solid having picked up just two wins from their last eight matches across all competitions. As the result against Spain highlighted, they are often unconvincing against the top sides, and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Netherlands in a pre-tournament friendly.

Head to Head


Germany have three wins and two draws while Italy have picked up just two victories from seven previous matches. The Germans have won the last two meetings, the most recent of which was a 4-2 victory in a friendly back in 2022.

Verdict

Germany have looked almost unstoppable lately and have won five of their last six matches, a run stretching back to before the tournament. They also tend to come out on top in this fixture and should get the better of Italy, who are often unconvincing against the big sides.
 
The Germans often play on the front foot, which has seen them score and concede in their last two matches. All three of their fixtures in Slovakia have also produced over 2.5 goals and this clash should follow a similar pattern.
