On June 22, Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu (Cluj-Napoca) will host the match of the 1st round of the Euro U21, in which Norway will compete with Switzerland. The battle will start at 18:00 CET.

Norway

The national team could have been stronger if Haaland had played for it. Erling is still 22, and the application is full of the guys who were born in 2000 and even those who were born in January. However, playing without the striker, who scored 52 goals this season after moving to Manchester City and making a treble with that club, the Scandinavians confidently qualified for their third such tournament. It is curious that both previous ones, which happened in 1998 (also in Romania!) and 2013, resulted in the achievement of the semi-finals. This time, Smerud’s wards (Leif Gunnar has been working since 2014 there) overcame the qualification well: 8 wins and 2 losses in 10 matches, which allowed them to overtake such a strong opponent as Croatia. It is reasonable to mention that the application is not bad even without Haaland, but there is no Holm, who has scored five goals. Noah, however, was completely lost behind the opening of the season, Balogun, in Reims.

Switzerland

The team is not a frequent participant of such tournaments – this is only the fifth participation in its history. At the same time, it turned out to break through to the second Euro in a row. “The Neutrals” limited themselves to one victory with a couple of defeats and did not overcome the group stage in 2021. Speaking about the new qualification, Lustrinelli’s wards struggled stubbornly for the leadership in the group with Netherlands, lagging behind it due to a single defeat. The team, however, did not go to the play-offs – 23 points were enough to be recognized as “the best second” participant. Ukraine had got the same match indicators, but a much worse ratio of the scored/conceded goals.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams were equal – each had got per 2 wins in 5 matches. Still, a friendly match was organized in the previous autumn, which was won by the Norwegians – 3-2.

Predictions

Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the Scandinavians. Still, taking into account the statistics of the teams and how they played in September, we use the bet on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.89).
