Netherlands U21 v Denmark U21: Forecast, Odds and Bets
The U21 European Championship continues to thrill fans as Netherlands U21 prepare to take on Denmark U21 on June 15, 2025, at the Štadión Tatran. This clash on Matchday 2 promises to deliver an exciting display of youthful talent as both sides aim to kick off their campaigns with a statement performance.
Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 BST in the UK, which corresponds to 21:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain. With so much at stake so early in the tournament, supporters across Europe will be glued to their screens to see who can gain the early advantage in Group A.
How are both teams coming into this?
Netherlands U21 arrive in fine fettle under coach Michael Reiziger. They remain unbeaten in their last five outings across all competitions, securing three wins and two draws. Their free-scoring display was evident in a 2-2 draw with Finland in their opening match, where they twice fought back from behind.
On the other side, Denmark U21 have shown mixed results under Steffen Højer Christensen. Their recent form reads one victory, two draws and two defeats, though a spirited 3-2 triumph over Ukraine provided a timely confidence boost. If Denmark can tighten up at the back without sacrificing their attacking threat, they could spring a surprise.
Our forecast
History and current form both tip the scales in favour of the Dutch. The Netherlands have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings and boast a squad brimming with tactical discipline and offensive flair. We’re expecting them to dominate possession and create the lion’s share of chances throughout the 90 minutes.
However, Denmark’s willingness to attack means goals could flow at both ends. For punters looking to capitalise, a stake on Netherlands to win at attractive odds makes sense, while the Both Teams to Score market also looks appealing given the attacking tendencies on show.
