Israel U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction
Israel made history by reaching the semifinal of the European Under-21 Championship last year. However, the Skyblue and White have been eliminated from the running for qualification to the upcoming tournament in Slovakia. They have lost all five games in the qualifiers, conceding 10 goals and scoring three.
Germany, for their part, had a tournament to forget in Georgia and Romania last year. They have rebounded from that disappointment and are on the cusp of qualifying for the European Under-21 Championship for the seventh successive tournament. Antonio Di Salvo's side have a one-point advantage over second-placed Poland with a game in hand. Furthermore, they have never lost a game against their hosts and are heavy favorites to extend that record.
Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable victory.
