On June 27, Stadionul Steaua (Bucharest) will host the match of the 3rd round of the Euro U21, in which Croatia will compete with Romania. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Croatia

The national team has recently achieved good, stable results, not only at the main level, and the youth is trying to be equal to Modrić and the company. The youngsters made it to the Euro for the first time in a decade and a half. And being in the next tournament, it got into the play-offs. The team made its way to the current championship with difficulty. It lost the championship to the Norwegians at the group stage, gaining 2 points less than the opponent. Speaking about the play-offs, the Croatians exchanged 2-1 victories with the Danes, both teams also scored in extra time, but Croatia was more successful in the penalty shoot-out – 5-4. The Euro started with the battle against Ukraine. And there was a confrontation with the favourites of the quartet, Spain, in three days. They turned out to be somewhat similar: there was a struggle, but the team did not succeed and allowed the opponents to score the decisive goals.

Romania

The team “shot” in the previous but one tournament, becoming a semi-finalist there. It broke through to the Euro 2021, but everything ended at the group stage there. The current generation did not pass the qualification sieve: the country hosts the championship together with Georgia; so, the national team played only friendly matches – thus, that was a completely different level of motivation and effort (still, the only victory in the battle against Steaua, with an abundance of defeats and a maximum of draws, was more than embarrassing). To be honest, this team was, in some ways, a “dark horse”, especially since most of the players perform in their homeland. The hosts started the Euro in the battle against the grandee, Spain – and eventually lost with a devastating 0-3 score. Then there was a meeting with a neighbour, Ukraine. That opponent was also better, even if everything was decided by an own goal in the end of the game.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The only youth match was played in 2019. Then the Romanians beat the neighbours – 4-1.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that nominal guests who play at the home arena have more chances to win. Still, that is the most important, there is nothing to fight for, everything is already clear in the quartet – both teams “flew” out. Hence, it is reasonable to bet on neutral “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.909).
