European championship
When preparing a prediction for England U21 - Portugal U21, it is worth noting that the teams have only met once in the last eight years. The confrontation took place in 2021 as part of the group stage of the European Championship and ended with a triumph for the Portuguese national team with a score of 2-0, with the first goal being scored only in the 64th minute.
England U21
England’s national team was among the top three favorites before the start of the tournament, and in the group stage, Gareth Southgate’s team fully justified this status. The English demonstrated high-quality football in all matches, securing three clean victories with the same scoreline of 2-0 against the Czech Republic, Israel, and Germany, without facing any difficulties against any opponent.
Portugal U21
Portugal’s national team had a disappointing start in the first round match against Georgia. Despite being the favorite, Rui Jorge’s team suffered a 0-2 defeat, showing nothing in attack. In the second match, the Portuguese settled for a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, and their place in the playoffs was secured thanks to a 2-1 victory over Belgium in the final round.
Prediction
The England national team is currently the best in terms of football quality at the Euro, as evidenced by their overall performance in the group stage. It is no coincidence that the English are considered favorites today, both in terms of gameplay and player selection. The Three Lions surpass their opponents significantly and are likely to secure a place in the semifinals without any major difficulties in regular time. We believe that the favorite will not disappoint. Prediction: England win. Such an outcome is offered by 1xBet with odds of 1.97.
