Finland's long-awaited return to the European U21 Championship scene will see them start their Group D campaign against two-time champions Netherlands. This match on Thursday at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena in Kosice between the Little Eagle-Owls and the Young Orange comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Ukraine and Denmark complete the group, and with the top two teams progressing to the knockout stage, the winners of this match are likely to have an edge.
Finland haven't qualified for this tournament since the 2009 edition and had to defeat Norway in the play-offs for a spot here. That came after finishing second in Group E (W6, D2, L2) behind Romania.
The Little Eagle-Owls had mixed preparation in the friends (W1, L1), which meant they won six of their last nine matches in all competitions and friends (W6, D1, L2).
The Netherlands are one of the favorites to win the group and warmed up with three consecutive wins in friends, the recent two coming with a clean sheet. They dominated the qualifiers too, winning each of their ten qualifiers and scoring 32 goals in the process.
The Dutch won this competition in 2006 & 2007 and came here with an unbeaten ten-game record (W8, D2), making them clear favorites to start with a win.

Our Finland -21 vs Netherlands -21 Prediction
Finland needed playoffs to qualify for their first Under-21 Euros since 2009 and would be eager for better results than that competition, where they conceded twice in all three league games. They won't start with high hopes against group favorites, the Netherlands, who defeated them in each of the previous eight H2Hs, each time handsomely. The Dutch are unbeaten since March 2024 (W8, D2) and are expected to continue their high-scoring record from the qualifiers.
That's why our Finland -21 vs Netherlands -21 prediction is over 2.5.
