Team news & squads
Germany U21 team news
Germany U21, managed by Antonio Di Salvo, arrives in excellent form, unbeaten in their last 15 matches and fresh from a 3-1 friendly win over Spain in which Nick Woltemade scored a hat-trick.
The squad is stacked with Bundesliga regulars, including key players like captain Eric Martel, creative midfielder Paul Nebel, and forward Woltemade, who netted 12 goals and 2 assists in 28 club matches last season.
The Germans are known for their attacking prowess, averaging over three goals per game, but have occasionally shown defensive frailties. Importantly, all selected squad members are fit and available, with no injuries or suspensions reported ahead of the opener.
Slovenia U21 team news
Slovenia U21, making just their second appearance in the finals after debuting as co-hosts in 2021, come into the tournament after finishing top of their qualifying group ahead of France. Their recent form is less convincing, with just one win in their last five matches and a 1-0 friendly defeat to Finland preceding the tournament.
The squad is at full strength, with no injuries or suspensions reported, allowing coach Andrej Razdrh to field his best eleven. Versatile midfielder Dino Kojic is expected to play a key role, while Potocnik leads the attack in their likely 4-2-3-1 formation.
