On June 21, Mikheil Meskhi Stadium (Tbilisi) will host the match of the 1st round of the Euro U21, in which Belgium will compete with Netherlands. The battle will start at 18:00 CET.

Belgium

The team, on the one hand, is considered to be a potentially very strong one – the local clubs largely earn from growing, educating and selling talents to the top divisions. On the other hand, “the Devils” rarely achieved the level of continental tournaments. It happened in 2019, however, then the team did not overcome the group stage and the generation missed the draw in 2021. Taking into account the current age of the footballers, De Ketelaere, Verschaeren, Doku, Openda could have played, but they are already in the squad of the main national team. Thus, there are no stars in particular, although Lavia was quite basic in Southampton. And, that is the most important, the team confidently overcame the qualifying group, winning 6 out of 8 matches and only then achieved two draws.

Netherlands

The national team, speaking about this level, reached the semi-finals in 2021. The trump cards are the same: local clubs, as in Belgium, are traditionally willing to work with young people. Still, a number of stars go directly to the main national team. Although the list of names is more famous in this case: van den Berg Sepp, Rensch, Gravenberch, Zirkzee, Brobbey. By the way, it is worth noting that the squad has not changed much: the mentor, van de Looi, who has been in his position since 2021, went through the entire cycle with almost the same application. Speaking about the qualification, “the Young Oranges” faced strong competition with Switzerland. Still, they got ahead of the opponent, showing in fact the same final results as “the Devils”: 8 wins and 2 draws.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The factor of head-to-head matches, speaking about the youth team, is conditional. The neighbours have played 5 times and, having achieved a 2-1 success in a friendly match, which happened in the previous autumn, the Dutch took the lead in this dispute, winning only the second time.

Predictions

Bookmakers are waiting for the victory of Netherlands, albeit in the real struggle. Still, it seems that there are quite good chances to see a spectacular confrontation. We bet on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.90).
