England U21s vs Germany U21s - European Under-21 Championship: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction | OneFootball

England's triumphant group-stage campaign will come to a close on Wednesday when they take on a struggling Germany at the European Under-21 Championship.

Lee Carsley's side have seen off both the Czech Republic and Israel to wrap up top spot in Group C, and cement the quarter-final spot that comes with it, so there is nothing on the line for the Young Lions.

Germany, however, have it all to play for. The reigning champions have surprisingly picked up just one point from their opening two fixtures and need three points here to have any chance of qualifying, although their hopes will be dashed if the Czechs avoid defeat against minnows Israel.

Angelo Stiller was withdrawn in the dying embers against the Czech Republic last time out but is expected to make a swift return.

Expect Antonio Di Salvo to recall striker Youssoufa Moukoko as the Germans cannot afford to drop more points.

England U21s vs Germany U21s score prediction

Despite Germany's poor results, Di Salvo's side are still among the strongest at this tournament. They've averaged 73.5% possession over their first two games and have outshot their opponents 45-16. Make no mistake about the quality in this squad.

With their continuation in the tournament on the line, expect Germany to throw everything at an England side who definitely have bigger priorities at this point, having already booked their place in the next round.

England will likely take their foot off the pedal, safe in the knowledge they cannot be caught at the top of the group, and that should lead to a Germany victory. However, unless Israel can pull off another huge shock against the Czechs, it could all count for nothing.
