Latest information on Germany U21 vs Italy U21 squad

Ahead of the quarter-finals of the 2025 European U21 Championship, Germany U21 is facing a few personnel issues. Midfielder Eric Martel is injured and his ability to play is uncertain, while potential striker Brajan Gruda is still training separately and is likely not fit enough to play. However, Germany's starting lineup still has many quality options such as Knauff, Thielmann and Weiper in attack.

On the other side of the front line, U21 Italy also does not have the service of striker Tommaso Baldanzi - the factor expected to bring a breakthrough to the attack but has not recovered from injury. However, they still have notable faces such as Ambrosino, Pisilli or Fazzini.

Latest football commentary on Germany U21 vs Italy U21

Germany U21 is showing extremely impressive form at this year's European U21 finals. Winning all 3 group stage matches in the death group (against England, Czech Republic and Slovenia), scoring 9 goals and conceding only 3, they not only lead the group but also prove their superior ability in both attack and defense. The 13-match unbeaten streak (11 wins, 2 draws) of coach Antonio Di Salvo and his team is the clearest proof of stability and class. In addition, in the last 2 confrontations, Germany U21 won against Italy, including a big 4-2 victory in 2022.

Meanwhile, U21 Italy entered the quarter-finals with an unconvincing performance. Although they did not lose any matches in the group stage, they only won by the minimum against Romania and Slovakia, and were held to a 1-1 draw by Spain. Although the team in blue has been unbeaten in the last 9 matches, their attack has not been explosive enough, while their defense has not brought a sense of absolute safety, especially when facing opponents with good pressing ability like Germany.

With a high scoring efficiency and rising spirit, U21 Germany is considered to be the better team in this match. Although Italy is an experienced opponent and not easy to defeat, but with the current situation of the force and the difference in form, Germany has a great chance to win, although the gap may not be too big.
