European championship
When preparing the prediction for Portugal U21 - Netherlands U21, it is worth paying attention to their previous meetings. The teams last met in 2020 during the European Championship qualification, and the match ended with a 2-1 victory for Portugal. However, the Netherlands' last triumph over Portugal took place in 2019 with a score of 4-2 during the group stage of the European Championship qualification.
Portugal U21
When forming a forecast for Portugal U21, it is worth noting that the team sensationally lost to Georgia U21 in the first round with a score of 0-2. Both goals were conceded by the Portuguese team in the first half. Despite their attempts to make a comeback in the second half, Rui Jorge’s team lacked accuracy in their shots and luck in their finishing. For example, they had 12 shots on goal, but only three were on target. It’s worth mentioning that defender Tomas Araujo will not play in the upcoming match due to a direct red card he received in the previous round.
Netherlands U21
In considering the forecast for the Netherlands U21, we should take into account that the team has recently demonstrated a pragmatic style of play. While the Dutch team has not lost for a long time, they have drawn four out of their last five matches. They also struggled to showcase their attacking potential in the opening game, resulting in a goalless draw against Belgium despite attempting 14 shots (with only three on target). It’s worth noting that Van de Loij deployed three forwards for that match, but the performance of right winger Jurgen Ekkelenkamp was particularly disappointing.

Prediction
In the final part of the forecast for Portugal U21 - Netherlands U21, it is worth noting the bookmakers' opinion, which gives a slight advantage to the nominal hosts of the match. Prior to the tournament, both teams were considered the main contenders to advance from the group, but after the first round, there is a high probability that one of them will be left out of the playoffs. Neither Portugal nor the Netherlands have managed to score goals against their opponents so far, indicating potential issues in their attacking play. We believe that both sides will be cautious and reluctant to take risks since losing points is not an option, which may result in a lack of scoring opportunities. Our prediction: Total goals under 3.
