Both teams are motivated to reach the final and are prepared to display all their skills.

Head-to-Head

📊 Germany U21 and France U21 have not faced each other in an official match since 2008.

Germany U21 Team Overview

The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, with Germany U21 as the nominal hosts and Italy U21 as the nominal visitors. The match concluded with a 3-2 scoreline.

Here's the match statistics (Germany U21 vs Italy U21):

• possession: 59% vs 41%;
• corner kicks: 6 vs 2;
• fouls: 15 vs 21;
• yellow cards: 1 vs 7;
• shots on target: 7 vs 4.

⚫ Germany's youth team are in impressive form, having won their last four matches and remaining unbeaten in 15 consecutive official games. Their style of play is characterized by a well-organized attack and efficiency in front of goal, averaging three goals per match. The Germans excel at maintaining possession and creating chances out of nothing, thanks to the individual skills of their players. However, their defense occasionally falters, conceding just over one goal per game.

✅ Germany had a perfect group stage, securing all 9 possible points. It seemed Italy, who failed to impress in all three of their tournament matches, would pose little threat. However, the opposite occurred: by the 68th minute, Germany were trailing 0-1 but managed to equalize through the brilliant Nick Woltemade—the tournament's top scorer with five goals. What followed was a highly dramatic finish: Italy received two red cards (in the 81st and 90th minutes), Germany scored with a man advantage in the 87th minute but astonishingly conceded in stoppage time to an opponent reduced to nine men. Extra time demanded additional effort, with Merlin Röhl netting the winner in the 117th minute (3-2). This match serves as a clear warning for the Germans: underestimating opponents could prevent them from reaching the final.

France U21 Team Overview

The most recent official match for the current nominal visitors took place on as part of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship (nominal hosts were Denmark U21, nominal visitors were France U21). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2-3.

Here's the match statistics (France U21 vs Denmark U21):

• possession: 62% vs 38%;
• corners: 7 vs 7;
• fouls: 17 vs 11;
• yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
• shots on target: 10 vs 3.

🔵 France U21 are in fine form: with three wins in their last four official matches, they are clearly setting their sights on the trophy. Known for their rapid counterattacks and ability to exploit space on the field, they consistently create dangerous opportunities in front of the opposition's goal. 

✅ France can confidently be called the luckiest team in the tournament. Regardless of how a match unfolds, the French seem to always come out on top. Against Portugal, they miraculously avoided defeat (0-0), turned the game around against Georgia in the dying minutes (3-2), and pulled off an incredible comeback against Denmark in the quarterfinals (3-2). By the 84th minute, they were trailing 1-2, but by the 85th minute, they were leading 3-2 thanks to goals from defender Quentin Merlin, one of the standouts of that match, and forward Mathys Tel—a scoreline they managed to hold onto. The team scores frequently and is adept at coming from behind, but their defense needs work; otherwise, Germany might punish them in the semifinals.
