Team Reviews
Spain U21 (Rank 8, 1st in UEFA U21 Qualifying Group D, 6 points)
Form: 2W-0D-0L; recent 4-0 win vs. Malta, 3-1 win vs. Scotland in qualifiers. Undefeated in last 10 friendlies (W8-D2).
Strengths: Five-time U21 European champions (tied with Italy). Coach Santi Denia’s squad features Valencia talents César Tárrega, Cristhian Mosquera, Javi Guerra, and Diego López. Abel Ruiz (Braga) leads the attack with 11 goals in 22 U21 caps. Strong at home (La Ciudad del Fútbol, Rozas).
Weaknesses: Defensive reshuffle likely due to injuries (e.g., Alejandro Francés doubtful). Overreliance on Ruiz for goals.
Key Players: Ruiz, Guerra (midfield), Arnau Tenas (GK, PSG).
Ukraine U21 (Rank 23, 2nd in UEFA U21 Qualifying Group F, 3 points)
Form: 1W-0D-1L; recent 3-0 win vs. Azerbaijan, 2-1 loss to England. Won 4-0 vs. Murcia U21 in a training friendly (June 2, 2025).
Strengths: Coach Unai Melgosa’s attacking style shines with Bohdan Viunnyk, Vladyslav Vanat, and Nazar Voloshyn (all scored vs. Murcia). Resilient after 2023 U21 EURO semi-final run (lost 5-1 to Spain).
Weaknesses: Defensive inconsistencies (conceded in 5 of last 6 games). Mykhailo Mudryk ineligible (overaged). Away form weaker (1W-1D-3L in last 5).
Key Players: Viunnyk, Vanat, Anatoliy Trubin (GK, Benfica).
Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 5 matches since 1993; Spain won 3 (12 goals), Ukraine won 1 (3 goals), 1 draw. Recent: 5-1 Spain (2023 U21 EURO semi-final), 2-2 draw (2023 group stage).
Trends: Spain dominates recent H2Hs, scoring 7 goals in last 2 meetings. Ukraine failed to score in 2 of 3 competitive games vs. Spain. Matches average 3.4 goals, suggesting open play.
Prediction: Spain U21 2-1 Ukraine U21
Final friendly before 2025 UEFA U21 Championship (June 11, Slovakia). Played at La Ciudad del Fútbol, Rozas (8:00 PM CET). Spain aims to maintain momentum; Ukraine tests depth post-Murcia win. Spain’s superior squad depth and home advantage outweigh Ukraine’s attacking threat. Ruiz and Guerra likely exploit Ukraine’s defensive gaps, but Viunnyk or Vanat may score on the counter. Social media (@RadiogacetaRNE) highlights Spain’s quality. Spain’s attacking prowess and historical edge should secure a narrow win, but Ukraine’s recent form suggests they’ll score. High-scoring trend (H2H and friendlies) supports goals on both sides.
