What TV channel is it on?

Sky Sports hold the rights to the European Under-21 Championship.

The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports Mix.

Coverage will start at 7.40pm.

What do Germany need to do to qualify?

Germany will go through with any one-goal defeat and be eliminated with any three-goal defeat.

They will also go out if they lose 2-0 and Czech Republic beat Denmark.

But the 2009 winners will go through if they lose 4-2, as well as if they lose 3-1 and Czech Republic fail to beat Denmark 4-0 or 4-1.

The permutations are extremely complicated because Uefa sort teams level on points by head-to-head results, rather than goal difference.

Additionally, only the best second-placed team goes through, which is currently Slovakia.

What do Italy need to do to qualify?

Italy's easiest route to the semi-finals is by beating Germany and hoping Czech Republic don't beat Denmark, which would automatically see them top the group.

The Azzurrini will also be guaranteed qualification if they win 3-0 or 3-1.

And they will go through with a 2-0 win if Czech Republic fail to beat Denmark by a greater margin.
