The curtain rises on EURO U19 2025 on June 13, when Spain U19, the defending champions, take on Danemark U19 at the Superbet Arena – Giulesti in Bucharest. Fans across Europe can catch the action live at 17:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, or at 16:00 BST in the UK. With both teams eager to start their campaign on a high, excitement is building for this opening fixture.
This match marks Spain’s bid to retain the title they lifted last year, while Denmark are looking to make a statement on the big stage. Hosting duties for Romania U19 add an extra layer of energy to the tournament, but all eyes will be on Bucharest’s Giulesti stadium as these two sides clash in Group A.
Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Spain U19 arrive in top form, having dominated their qualification group with an attacking style that yielded plenty of goals. As reigning champions, they boast a squad brimming with technical ability and confidence, and will be keen to set the tone early in Romania. Their blend of possession football and quick transitions makes them favourites to control this opener.
Danemark U19 booked their spot in the finals through a solid qualification campaign, showcasing defensive resilience and tactical discipline. While they may not carry the same star power as Spain, Denmark’s backline has been tough to break down, and their counter-attacking game can pose serious threats on the break. They’ll be determined to frustrate the favourites and snatch a positive result.
Nos prévisions
Given Spain’s pedigree at youth level and their fluid attacking patterns, we expect them to dominate possession and create the lion’s share of scoring opportunities. Denmark’s defence will be tested, especially down the flanks where Spain like to exploit space, and an early goal could open the floodgates for the holders.
That said, Denmark’s organised setup means they won’t lie down easily. We predict a competitive first half, but foresee Spain pulling away after the interval. A 2-0 or 3-1 victory for Spain looks likely, with both teams capable of finding the net but Spain ultimately running out comfortable winners.
