France U21 Team News
France reached the knockout stage of the U21 European Championship by winning all three of Group D. In the first round, they beat Italy U21 with a score of 2-1, then they defeated Norway U21 1-0, and in the duel with Switzerland, they achieved the most convincing triumph in the tournament, beating them by as much as 4-1.
Despite being known for producing talented young players, France only won the U21 EURO once, back in 1988. In addition, they had another appearance in the final in 2002, which ended with a loss to the Czech Republic on penalties.
France did not perform well against Ukraine U21, with only three wins from nine matches played (along with five draws and one loss). This suggests that it will not be easy for the French to reach the semi-finals on Sunday at the Cluj Arena.
Ukraine U21Team News
Ukraine twice failed to hold on to a lead against Spain in a last-round match that ended 2-2, preventing them from securing the top spot in Group B. Despite extending their unbeaten run to five games (three wins and two draws), Ukraine missed the chance to win.
Coach Ruslan Rotan made significant changes in the composition of his team after they had already secured a place in the knockout phase, which resulted in conceding the only two goals of the tournament. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian national team dares to dream of reaching or even surpassing the most remarkable success at the European Under-21 Championship in 2006, when it became the runner-up after losing to the Netherlands in the final 3-0.
Ukraine has kept a clean sheet in three of their last four competitive matches. However, their defensive bulwark will be severely tested on Sunday, having conceded a total of eight goals in their previous two meetings with France.

France U21 vs Ukraine U21 Prediction
France U21 has plenty of attacking options that can easily decide the winner of this match and advance to the semi-finals of the final tournament. Although Ukraine U21 performed well in the competition’s group stage, it will be challenging for this selection to challenge one of the top favorites for the title at the European Under-21 Championship.
