England vs Germany predictions: European Under-21 Championship final tips and odds
Our tipster has three predictions for Saturday's European Under-21 Championship final between England and Germany at the National Stadium in Bratislava (kick-off, 8pm BST). We think that the Germans should be favoured, in a match that should produce goals. England U21 vs Germany U21 tips Germany draw no bet @ 10/11 with Sky Bet Nick Woltemade to score @ 5/4 with Sky Bet Harvey Elliott to score @ 5/2 with Sky Bet Odds courtesy of Sky Bet Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.

Germany to have final word England are 7/5 favourites to win the European Under-21 Championship final, with Germany at 6/4. Antonio Di Salvo's side are the outsiders despite beating the holders 2-1 in the group stage, a match in which they fielded a second-string side. England dominated possession but struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. They have looked more dangerous in the knockout rounds, beating Spain and the Netherlands, but the value is clearly with Germany who swept aside France in the semi-finals. Woltemade for the big occasion Germany's Nick Woltemade is the top scorer in the tournament with six goals in four appearances, the 23-year-old having been rested for the victory over England. He scored a hat-trick in the opener against Slovenia, added to his tally when the Germans defeated Czechia and found the net against both Italy in the quarter-finals and France in the semis. With 17 goals last season for Stuttgart, the 6ft 6in striker will be the main danger to the Three Lions. Elliott carries England's biggest threat England manager Lee Carsley is lacking a striker of Woltemade's calibre. Liam Delap is at the Club World Cup with Chelsea, while the tireless Jay Stansfield has yet to find the net for the U21 side, even if his involvement has improved performances. Instead, it has been Harvey Elliott who has stepped up to take on the goalscoring burden. The Liverpool midfielder is the tournament's second-highest scorer with four goals. After opening his account against Czechia, Elliott netted in the quarter-final when England faced Spain and then twice against Netherlands in the semis. As a player with the ability to craft chances out of nothing, odds of 5/2 on him to score look too big. England U21 vs Germany U21 odds All odds courtesy of Sky Bet.

'Best day of my life' - Dunne delivers on F1 debut
Teenager Alex Dunne says making his Formula 1 debut at the Austrian Grand Prix is "definitely the best day of my life".The 19-year-old impressed as he posted the fourth-fastest time in opening practice for the Austrian Grand Prix as he stood in for McLaren's Lando Irish driver was handed the opportunity in one of McLaren's four mandatory sessions across the season where a rookie driver will take part in first is a McLaren development driver and leads the Formula 2 standings after six rounds with two victories in Bahrain and Imola."I want to say a massive thank you, you made a little boy's dream come true," Dunne said on his team radio after the session."This is definitely the best day of my life. "Thank you everyone for letting me do this and thanks to Lando as well for trusting me with his car. It means a lot." In taking part in first practice, Dunne became the first Irish driver to participate in a Formula 1 weekend in 22 years. He started the session off slowly, carrying an aero rake on his car as championship leaders McLaren tested updates on the MCL39. After a stint on hard tyres, the former British F4 champion posted the fourth-fastest time after switching to the soft tyres late in the hour-long session. His quickest time was just 0.069 seconds shy of championship leader Oscar Piastri, who was third behind George Russell and Max Verstappen."I'm super, super happy. It's safe to say it went pretty well," Dunne told McLaren's social media. "We knew going into the session that the goal wasn't necessarily for performance, it was more to help out with the car, help Lando and kind of just help the team improve as much as they can for FP2 and FP3, and onwards into the weekend. "So to have the pace that I had and show what I am capable of on the F1 stage is something pretty special." Analysis - 'He might give McLaren a few headaches' Andrew Benson, BBC Sport's Formula 1 correspondent: "There was a point where McLaren were thinking of dropping Alex Dunne but [former racing driver] Warren Hughes said to them if you look into the data, you can see that he is really talented and that's really coming out this year. "He's been super impressive in F2 and that lap time. It is only first practice but it's a very rare a driver gets into a grand prix practice session and laps that close to the regular race driver."Alex Dunne might be giving McLaren a few headaches because they already have Piastri and Norris under contract in F1 for at least a couple of years. "I'm not saying Dunne is going to get a McLaren seat but if he wins F2 this year, what are they going to do with him? There aren't that many F1 seats, with this sort of potential you want to get him into F1 as soon as possible." 'Diligent and impressive' Speaking on Sky Sports, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said Dunne was "diligent and impressive" in his approach to the session, which included testing the new upgrades on the McLaren."He also had the chance to show some speed, and it's no surprise as he's a fast driver," Stella added."I think we need to be a bit careful looking at the lap times because his lap time came later on in the stint when the fuel was down."But it was encouraging and impressive, in terms of Alex himself and it was a good session for McLaren."Ex-Formula 1 driver Karun Chandock says Dunne's performance in practice was "tremendously impressive"."If I was McLaren I'd be trying to do a deal with Cadillac or someone like that," he said on Sky Sports."You want to find him a seat somewhere to build up some racing experience. "I'd be trying to get him a deal somewhere else for a period of time and have him on some sort of a tether him back in, like Mercedes have done in the past with George Russell." What comes next? Heading into the Austrian Grand Prix, Dunne leads the Formula 2 standings by three points ahead of Dutch driver Richard Offaly driver has won in Bahrain and Imola, and claimed pole position in his impressive F1 debut, Dunne returned to his Rodin Motorsport Formula 2 car for qualifying for the seventh round of the posted the seventh fastest time and will start from fourth in the reverse grid sprint race on Saturday (13:15 BST), and will line-up where he qualified for the feature race on Sunday (09:00 BST).

Celtic to sell star with 'massive future in the game' after transfer with huge sell-on fee struck
The Hoops are set to sell highly-rated youngster Matthew Anderson but have made sure they won't regret it if he kicks on Celtic are set to sell highly-rated youngster Matthew Anderson – but have reportedly demanded a huge sell-on fee in the deal in case his career skyrockets away from the club. Left-back Anderson has spent the last two years out on loan at Admira Wacker in Austria but, according to the Celtic Way, is now set to join KV Kortrjik in the Belgian second tier. It's claimed they've beaten off interest from Aberdeen and Hearts, as well Exeter City in England, Tolouse in France and Ried and Tirlo in Austria to land the 21-year-old who has thoroughly impressed in his two seasons out on loan. It's reported he's leaving for a 'minimal' fee – but that Celtic have covered themselves by including a 'significant' sell-on fee that will see them profit if he goes on to make his new club cash in the future. Anderson had previously been talked up as one of the academy's top prospects and while interest from the Premier League in his teenage years has wavered, there's a feeling he'll be able to kick on and become a Scotland player in the future. He hadn't played for the first-team but was highly rated by Brendan Rodgers although is currently some way short of competing with Kieran Tierney for the left-back berth at Parkhead – so the club believe a clean break sale to give him a fresh start elsewhere is the best option. Speaking exclusively to Record Sport, Stephen McManus, who coached Anderson with the Hoops B-team, predicted a massive future ahead for the youngster. He said: "He's got a massive future in the game, absolutely massive. He's a terrific boy with a brilliant family, and again, you can only stay with us, with the B team, for a couple of seasons. "Matthew outgrew the B team two years ago. That's why he's not played for the B team. That's why the next stage of his development was to go out and loan. "Some people make their debut at 16 and then go and play for the rest of their careers. Some people are 21, 20, they need to go a different route. That's fine. "But what you need to do is, when you get an opportunity, you need to try and become a football player, and that's what Matthew's done. "He's a terrific boy, terrific worker from a terrific family, and he'll be a top player."
