PROBABLE LINE-UPS GERMANY FRANCE U21: WHO WILL PLAY IN THE SUPER SEMIFINAL?

Kosice hosts today, Wednesday 25 June 2025, the second semi-final of the Under-21 European Championship : the level promises to be high, even if we would have liked to be there – and perhaps we would have even deserved it. However, the Italian regrets cannot prevent us from analyzing the probable formations Germany France U21 towards the super challenge in Slovakia.

Germany U21 won with three victories out of three and therefore with full points in the group, from many points of view they had been the best team of the tournament but on Sunday in the quarterfinals Italy took the Germans to extra time despite being two numerically less. Much credit for the Azzurrini, some blame instead for Germany, less convincing than in previous outings even if then capable of saving themselves just a few minutes from the risk of everything being decided on penalties.

France U21, on the other hand, limped a bit, in particular against Georgia they were losing until the 89th minute before the comeback that gave them the victory and in fact avoided the risk of going out in the group, then speaking of comebacks, here is the 3-2 victory in the quarter against Denmark thanks to two goals in the 84th and 85th minutes. The ability to not give up and to know how to play excellent finals seems to be the peculiar characteristic of this France U21 so far.

The probable Germany France U21 lineups must therefore take these considerations as a starting point to frame the two national teams in this European Championship on Slovakian soil which has now reached the decisive turning point, with the coaches' moves potentially being decisive.

The certainty in the forecast is the uncertainty according to the Snai agency for Germany France U21 . In fact a German success is quoted at 2.65 and a French victory at 2.75, with practically no difference; the most profitable hypothesis would instead be a draw, indicated at 3.15.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS GERMANY FRANCE U21

THE TRIDENT FOR DI SALVO

The probable Germany France U21 formations should offer us the 4-3-3 module for Antonio Di Salvo, German coach of evident Italian origins who risked a flop against Italy and now has to consider the fatigue of 120 minutes. In goal Atubolu; the four defenders Collins, Rosenfelder, Arrey-Mbi and Brown should make up the rear guard to protect him; in the middle of the field Reitz, Martel and Nebel while in attack we indicate Gruda and the "Italian" Tresoldi for the two available shirts together with Woltemade, the star of this cycle for Germany Under 21.

A TACTICAL DOUBT FOR BATICLE

For Gerald Baticle, however, the probable formations Germany France U21 could reserve a tactical doubt between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, which will depend on Lepenant's position. In defense, the four-man formation in front of goalkeeper Restes will not change, with Doukouré, Matsima, Lukeba and Merlin who should receive the shirts from the first minute; in midfield Cissé and Agoumé with 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3 if Lepenant is also in line with them. Alternatively, the joker would act as a central attacking midfielder, together with the wingers Lemarechal and Odobert in support of the first striker Tel.
