Reigning champions Germany will take on Israel in their opening game of the 2023 Uefa U21 Championship at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium in Georgia on Thursday.
Apart from a shock 4-0 defeat to Poland at home, Germany had a smooth passage through the qualifiers, winning the other nine games. However, their form in the friendlies prior to the Championship has been dismal, with only one win in five matches.
Similarly, Israel haven't had the best of form heading into the tournament, having only won one of their last five warm-up friendlies before the U21 Championship.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
