Spain U21 v England U21: Betting Preview – 21st June 2025

The Euro under-21 Championship has reached the quarter-final stage, with two of the tournament favourites going head-to-head on Saturday.

The Young Lions take on Spain at the City Arena Trnava on Saturday evening in a very intriguing encounter, with the winner progressing into the final four.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Saturday’s Euro U21 Championship fixture:

Spain U21 v England U21 – Saturday, 8pm

• Spain U21 are looking to claim their sixth U21 European Championship and are well on course to do so after topping Group A ahead of Italy via goals scored, with both sides taking seven points (W2, D1, L0).
• Their recent 1-1 draw against Italy extended La Rojita’s unbeaten run in competitive fixtures to thirteen games, although they’ve never beaten England in their seven attempts so far (W0, D3, L4). 
• For all their success so far in this competition, Spain have failed to keep a clean sheet, that’s now seven games in a row in which they’ve conceded at least once, which will be music to England’s ears.
  ——————————–
• England are yet to reach the heights that you’d expect from the defending champions, a 2-1 defeat to Germany meant the Young Lions squeezed through Group B having won just one of their three group games so far.
• Whilst that was just England’s third defeat in their last twenty-four fixtures, Lee Carsley knows his side are much better than that and will be hoping his side can show their true talent on Saturday evening. 
• I think we’ll be in for goals on Saturday evening, Spain have seen both teams score in six of their last seven games whilst four of England’s last five games have produced at least three goals. 

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals, Spain U21 1-2 England U21.
