England vs. Germany: European U21 Championship Live Stream, Schedule, Prediction

England will play Germany in the semi-final of the 2017 UEFA European U21 Championship at the Tychy Stadium in Tychy, Poland, on Tuesday.

It's a chance for a gifted Germany squad to eliminate an England team that has been resilient during this tournament. The Young Lions have won their last two matches yet still haven't truly clicked.

By contrast, Die Mannschaft have purred in attacking areas at times. A gifted contingent of forward-thinking players, including Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry, have undermined defences with pace, perceptive movement and artful passing.

The main concerns for England are the fitness of Nathan Redmond and Nathaniel Chalobah. Both players were withdrawn during England's final group match, a 3-0 win over Poland.

Speaking after the game, manager Aidy Boothroyd addressed the pair's status, per BBC Sport: "They have been massive for us, in qualifying and here. We will see how they are."

Of the two, Redmond is the more valuable performer. His pace can stretch any defence at the tournament, while his runs off the ball provide England with a regular outlet in the final third.

Whoever plays in midfield for the Young Lions will be in for a tough time, considering Germany are loaded with flair and creativity in the middle. Mahmoud Dahoud is a relentless runner from deep, while Max Meyer and Maximilian Arnold are natural No. 10s who pull the strings between the midfield and forward lines.

Denying Meyer and Arnold time and space on the ball is the best way for England to disrupt the supply to Gnabry and striker Davie Selke.

England haven't always wowed with quality in this year's competition, but they have been tough to break down and beat. However, Germany's fluid style can give them the edge in a tight game.

Prediction: England 1-2 Germany
