Team Reviews
Ukraine U21 (FIFA Rank: N/A for U21, Senior Rank: 24)
Coached by Unai Melgosa, Ukraine U21 qualified as one of the three best runners-up, finishing second in their group with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Semi-finalists in 2023, they’ve reached the group stage in two of their last three U21 EURO appearances. A recent 1-0 friendly win over Spain U21, with a last-minute goal, boosts their confidence.
Strengths:
Emerging Talent: Captain Volodymyr Brazhko (9 senior caps) and striker Vladyslav Vanat (2 goals in 11 senior caps) lead a promising squad, with Nazar Voloshyn adding flair.
Recent Form: Ukraine won their last friendly and were unbeaten in the 2023 group stage (2 wins, 1 draw), scoring 2.0 goals per game in qualifiers.
Resilience: Their 2023 semi-final run, including a 2-0 win over Croatia, shows they can compete at this level.
Weaknesses:
Injury Concerns: Defender Arseniy Batahov is sidelined, potentially weakening their backline.
Inconsistent Form: Despite the Spain win, Ukraine lost 1-0 to Serbia in qualifiers, showing vulnerability against organized sides.
Denmark U21 (FIFA Rank: N/A for U21, Senior Rank: 21)
Managed by Steffen Højer, Denmark U21 topped their qualifying group with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, reaching their fifth U21 EURO in six editions. Quarter-finalists in 2021, they’re on a four-match winless run (2 draws, 2 losses) since qualifying, including a 1-1 draw with Italy U21 in March 2025.
Strengths:
Attacking Threat: Mathias Kvistgaarden leads the attack, supported by William Bøving and Nikolas Dyhr. Denmark averaged 2.5 goals per game in qualifiers.
Squad Fitness: No reported injuries, with a fully fit squad including defenders Kristensen and Provstgaard.
Experience: Denmark’s consistent U21 EURO appearances (since 2015) provide tournament know-how.
Weaknesses:
Winless Streak: No wins in their last four games, with losses to Germany and Spain exposing defensive gaps (1.5 goals conceded per game recently).
Head-to-Head Struggles: Denmark have lost both previous U21 competitive matches against Ukraine (2006, 2019).
Head-to-Head History
Ukraine U21 and Denmark U21 have met twice in competitive U21 matches:
Total Matches: 2
Ukraine Wins: 2 (Total Goals: 4, PPG: 2.0)
Denmark Wins: 0
Draws: 0
Recent Encounter: Ukraine won 2-1 in the 2006 U21 EURO group stage, en route to the final. They also won 2-1 in a 2019 qualifier.
Goal Trends: Both matches produced over 2.5 goals, with BTTS in 100%. Average goals per match: 3.0.
Ukraine’s recent form and 2-0 head-to-head record give them the edge over Denmark, who are winless in four. Both teams’ attacks suggest goals, but Ukraine’s resilience should secure a narrow win at the neutral Štadión Tatran.
