Contents
- Competition: UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification &— Group 3
- Date: Wednesday, 18th, October 2023
- Kickoff: 11:00 UTC +1 / 12.00 CEST
- Venue: Sportpark Eschen-Mauren (Eschen)
Germany’s junior team is scheduled to face Finland at Sportpark Eschen-Mauren in Liechtenstein this Wednesday, as they strive to secure direct passage to the second qualifying phase of the U17 EURO.
Fresh in memory is the comprehensive victory achieved by the reigning champions at the 2023 European Championship in Hungary. Now, the newly appointed generation of players sets out on a new qualifying journey, aiming to replicate the success of their predecessors at EURO 2024 in Cyprus. The defense of their title began in spectacular fashion as Germany’s U17 juniors crushed the hosts, Liechtenstein, with a resounding 6-0 victory on the first day of the initial qualification phase.
In the second matchday of Group 3, the defending champions will be up against Finland U17, a team that isn’t well-known for their presence in the EURO stage. To give a clearer perspective, the young players from Finland have been striving to qualify for a continental tournament since 2002, but haven’t succeeded yet. However, the up-and-coming Finnish U17 generation is determined to break this streak. Unfortunately, they didn’t make a strong impression in the first qualifying phase for EURO 2024 U21, as they let go of a 2-1 lead and settled for a thrilling 2-2 draw against Ukraine U17.
Germany U17 vs Finland U17 Betting Tips: Germany & Over 2.5
Looking back at the previous meetings of these two junior teams, it is clear that Germany U17 has consistently dominated their Wednesday opponent. They have emerged victorious in the last three clashes, scoring an impressive 21 goals while only conceding 3, resulting in an average of seven goals per game. The most recent encounter occurred in March of this year during the second qualifying phase, where Germany’s youth team scored an impressive seven goals against Finland (7-0). They will be aiming to achieve a similar feat in the upcoming midweek game.
Furthermore, it is crucial to acknowledge another awe-inspiring aspect: Michel Prus’s team possesses an attacking line that instills terror within their adversaries. This is exemplified by their remarkable achievement of scoring an astounding 44 goals in a mere 12 matches.
Taking into account that Finland U17 often displays defensive vulnerabilities, especially during away fixtures &— having conceded two or more goals in four of their last five such matches &— it’s hard to envision anything other than another resounding victory for the reigning European champions.

In an unexpected turn of events, Boris Lum, the defensive midfielder for Hertha Berlin, had to exit the field as early as the 29th minute during the game against Liechtenstein U17. If he remains unavailable for the forthcoming clash with Finland U17, Niklas Swider is the likely candidate to take his place in the starting lineup.
Francis Onyeka, currently representing Bayer Leverkusen U19 at the club level, has already claimed the top spot on the list of leading goal-scorers after the first qualifying round. He scored a hat-trick in a convincing 6-0 victory against group underdog Liechtenstein U17. As a result, he is expected to once again be the main attacking threat for his national team.

Finland U17 team news
Just five minutes after stepping off the bench, HJK Helsinki Youth winger Toivo Mero propelled his team to a brief lead against Ukraine U17 in the opening match of the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Given his contribution, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see coach Lehtola include him in the starting XI against the reigning European champions.
Kuopion Palloseura’s captain, Matias Siltanen, continues his remarkable goal-scoring streak, netting his third goal in the last four encounters against the Ukrainians. He’s poised to once again assert his dominance in the midfield for his national team.
