When forming the prediction for Spain U21, it is worth noting that the team had a confident start in the championship, similar to the senior Spanish national team in the recent World Cup (although we remember the outcome of their performance). The players, under the guidance of Denia, didn’t leave any chances for Romania, defeating them with a score of 3-0, although they scored their first goal only in the 55th minute. Overall, the team displayed an aggressive attacking game (25 shots on goal) with a focus on ball control (79% possession). It is worth mentioning that Sergio Gomez (Man City) and Juan Miranda (Betis) received the highest ratings, 8.4 and 8.2 respectively.
In considering the prediction for Croatia U21, it is important to note that the team had an unsuccessful performance in their opening match of the current tournament. The Croatians couldn’t oppose the Ukrainians and suffered a 0-2 defeat, with the first goal conceded as early as the 19th minute. Yes, Skocic’s team had more attacking attempts (133 attempts compared to 76 from the opponent) and had 22 shots on goal (compared to the opponent’s ten), but due to accuracy issues (only three shots on target) and poor finishing, they failed to score. It is notable that the midfield, represented by Baturina, Kacavenda, and Prsir, performed relatively weakly.
