On June 25, Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu (Cluj-Napoca) will host the match of the 2nd round of the Euro U21, in which Norway will compete with France. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Norway

The national team is not highly quoted if we speak about the “adult” level. The same can be said about the youth one. Still, it is curious that, having made it to the Euro U21, the Scandinavians were able to achieve outstanding success there – they reached the semi-finals both in 1998 and in 2013. There were long periods when the qualifications were unsuccessful between these peaks. Speaking about the current cycle, there was a difficult group in which the team had to fight for the leadership with Croatia until the very end. As a result, having won 8 out of 10 matches, it took the 1st place. Being already in Romania, Smerud’s wards played in the 1st round with Switzerland. And, having opened the score already in the 19th minute of the game, there happened a limp loss with a 1-2 score.

France

The team represents the country that is famous for its abundance of young talents. However, Mbappé and other stars that are usually revealed early, go to the main national team. Perhaps that is the reason why six qualifying rounds were lost in a row after the semi-finals of the Euro 2006 – and then, it entered the top 4 again in Italy. Speaking about 2021, the team was stopped one stage earlier, in the quarter-finals. The new qualifying group had a difficult opponent, Ukraine. Still, it lost once, when and “the Little Blues” collected 8 wins and a couple of draws in 10 matches, ending in the place of the leader of the group. Being in Romania, the 1st round brought Italy, which was the nominal favourite of the quartet. There, it turned out to win with great difficulty – to be honest, the team fought back at the end, with saves from Chevalier, the removal of Bade and an extremely controversial situation at the goal line.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams played in the qualification in 2012 and, as a result, exchanged home victories. And, that is the most important, they organized a friendly match in previous November, which brought a 1-1 draw.

Predictions

Bookmakers do not believe in the Scandinavians that have already lost at the Euro. Thus, we bet on the French with “a -1 goal handicap” (odd: 1.64).
