The UEFA Under-17 European Championship Group stage wraps up on Monday, 26 May 2025, when Repubblica Ceca U17 assumere Inghilterra U17. The fixture kicks off at 20:30 CEST in Italia, Germania, Francia e Spagna, e a 19:30 BST in the UK. Both sides know that only a win will guarantee progression into the knockout rounds from this tight group.
England arrive off the back of a thrilling 4-2 defeat to Italy, leaving their campaign hanging by a thread, while the Czech side have quietly collected results to keep their own hopes alive. With everything to play for, fans can expect a high-stakes encounter full of youthful energy and exacting talent.
Come si presentano le due squadre?
Czech Republic U17 have impressed with a well-organised defensive shape and swift transitions in midfield. After a solid draw against a fancied Germany side, they’ll be buoyed by confidence that they can match England physically and tactically. Their goalkeeper has made a number of key saves, helping the team to remain competitive in every match so far.
England U17, by contrast, have shown both attacking flair and moments of vulnerability. The 4-2 loss to Italy exposed some defensive frailties, but also underlined their ability to create chances in quick succession. They’ll be desperate to rebound with a strong performance, relying on their forward line’s pace and creativity to break down a well-drilled Czech back four.
La nostra previsione
We anticipate an open contest in Tirana, with both teams chasing the vital win. The Czech side’s disciplined approach could frustrate England at times, but we expect the English youngsters to find a breakthrough in the second half once fatigue sets in. Expect end-to-end action and moments of individual brilliance on both flanks.
Ultimately, our money is on a narrow England victory. A 2-1 final scoreline seems likely, but backing the oltre 2,5 gol market could also pay dividends given both teams’ willingness to attack.
