Full Analysis:

Today at 09:00 p.m., Germany U21 will face Slovenia U21 in the second round of the U21 European Championship in Slovakia. I’m backing Germany U21 for the win in this one. Germany is a regular presence in the U21 finals, and in their qualification campaign, they lost points only from draws at home against Kosovo and away in Poland. Their squad is packed with players who are mostly regulars in the Bundesliga, with only two foreign-based players: defender Mbi from Braga and midfielder Gruda from Brighton. The star of the team is likely to be Stuttgart striker Woltemade, who has scored 7 goals in 12 matches for the national U21 side. In preparation for the tournament, Germany has defeated Spain 3-1, Slovakia 1-0, Denmark 3-1, and drawn 2-2 with France.

On the other hand, Slovenia is making only its second appearance at the U21 finals. In their first appearance in 2021, they earned just 1 point in 3 matches, as they were the host nation. Surprisingly, Slovenia topped their qualification group, beating Austria and France, which was an impressive achievement. Their squad features a mix of domestic league players and foreign-based players, with the most notable being midfielder Zeljkovič from Trnava, who is moving to Plzeň after the season. In their pre-tournament friendlies, Slovenia drew against Slovakia and Ukraine but lost to Finland.

Germany U21 has a significantly stronger squad compared to Slovenia, and with tough matches ahead in the group, including against England and the Czech Republic, failing to win this match would be a major issue. I believe they will secure the three points here.

Good luck
