On 15 June 2025, Finlandia Sub-21 host Ukraine U21 in an eagerly anticipated EURO U21 showdown at Veritas Stadion. Kick-off across Europe is set for 18:00 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 17:00 BST (UK), giving fans plenty of time to settle in for what promises to be a competitive clash.
This fixture represents a crucial step for both sides as they bid to build momentum in the tournament. Finland U21, buoyed by a strong home support, will look to maintain their positive run, while Ukraine U21 aim to showcase their resilience on foreign soil.
¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Finland U21 arrive in good nick, having won 6, drawn 3 and lost just once in their last 10 matches. Under coach Mika Lehkosuo, they have developed a solid defensive framework and quick attacking transitions, especially at Veritas Stadion where they often impose their style.
Ukraine U21 remain something of an unknown quantity but have impressed during qualifying with a blend of energetic pressing and fluid forward play. They will be keen to test Finland’s backline and exploit any gaps, making them a dangerous opponent despite the away trip.
Nuestras previsiones
We expect a closely fought affair with limited clear-cut chances. Finland’s home solidity suggests they will be difficult to break down, while Ukraine’s counter-attacking threat could pay dividends on the break. Tactical discipline will be key for both sides.
Given the defensive strengths on display, our tip is for an menos de 2,5 goles outcome. A low-scoring draw—perhaps a 1-1 stalemate—seems the most likely scenario, though a narrow Ukraine edge cannot be ruled out.
