Semi-final feeling about this big game
Germany U19 and Ukraine U19 meet in a big game on Wednesday in the UEFA EURO U19 2026 semi-final.
Hosts Germany have been the dominant side in Group A, beating Denmark U19 4-3 and Wales U19 4-0 before a 4-0 battering by Spain U19 on Sunday.
That result could be a reality check for the young Die Mannschaft, who were the clear dominant force in Group A and must now face an improving Ukraine team fresh from three straight wins.
German frontline is a threat
Christian Wörns has built his Germany side around some exciting players, particularly in the front line where Otto Stange is their spark. He has hit three of the side's seven goals in the last five matches and has the capacity to unlock defences on his own.
Ukraine U19 are a tough nut to crack though, as they showed when beating Italy U19 1-0 in their Group B game. Coach Dmytro Mykhailenko sets them up in a narrow 4-1-4-1 shape that stays very compact and can bite with counter attacks when they win the ball back.
They should be able to stop the Germans getting too much joy on the flanks but Germany's rotation may be able to get them into their central area by sheer rotation. Ukraine U19 will have to match Germany's pressing intensity in midfield or be liable to get punished in their own third.
Goals likely when Ukraine U19 press
Ukraine U19 have a good goal threat of their own with Vitaliy Hlyut their key player. He can get on the end of the quick counters Ukraine set up and has
two goals in the squad's last five games.
Germany U19 have scored 14 goals in their last five home games and look to
have
found a rhythm in front of their own fans. So, the Over 2.5 at 1.79 and
BTTS - Yes at 1.63 look
top value in this match that could get lively. The home team are
slightly fav
oured to win, so a 2-1 exact score bet on Germany U19 makes
sense
here.
