In the 3rd round of U21 Europa League Group C, a match between England and Germany is about to take place. England has won both rounds and locked the top spot in the group in advance, and the manager Carsley may adjust the lineup to prepare for the upcoming knockout stage. Germany, on the other hand, has only one point and will have to beat England if they want to have a chance of survival. Regardless of whether they win or lose, the two teams have a history of fierce battles, the last 6 meetings, 5 games scored more than 3 goals, 2.5 goals odds are quite high.

The England team has a luxurious lineup this season. The attacking group of Judith Jones, Jacky Lance, Anthony Gordon, Anjo Gomes, and Imerovi is full of firepower, and they are good at both offense and defense. In the group stage, Imerovi scored two goals, while Anthony Gordon and Jacky Lance also scored a goal each. Despite the early lockout, England will not take their old rival Germany lightly, even with a rotated lineup, and will continue to play attacking soccer, striving to achieve three consecutive wins.
Last year's champions, Germany, got off to a bad start with a 1-1 draw against Israel U21 in the first round, during which they missed two 12-yard penalties and were unlucky. In the second round against the Czech Republic, they were shut out towards the end of the match, and eventually lost 1-2, narrowly missing out on the tournament. In this crucial matchup with England, Germany will not only have to win the game, but also hope that the Czech Republic will lose to Israel, so that they can qualify through goal difference, which is as difficult as climbing up to the sky.
