On June 24, Mikheil Meskhi Stadium (Tbilisi) will host the match of the 2nd round of the Euro U21, in which Portugal will compete with Netherlands. The battle will start at 18:00 CET.

Portugal

The national team has never become a European champion at this level. Still, “the Hopes” reached the semi-finals more than once, including the previous cycle, in 2021. They appeared in a frankly simple qualifying group, with opponents of the level of Iceland and Greece, not to mention Belarus, Cyprus and even Liechtenstein. There is no surprise that the team won with a huge backlog of 10 points before “the Icies” – 28 opposed to 18 points. By the way, it played only 1 draw – that was a battle against the Scandinavians. The overall goal difference was 41-3, and Goncalo Ramos, who plays actively for the national team, scored a dozen of them. Being already at the Euro, the Portuguese started with a duel against the hosts – the Georgians. Perhaps the opponent was underestimated, as a result, they conceded twice and responded only with the removal of Tomás Araújo after the break.

Netherlands

The team represents a country that has always been famous for its abundance of bright football talents. It goes without saying that many young players are attracted by the mentors of the main, national teams. Nevertheless, “the Young Oranges” have enough high-class performers. Let’s only have a look at those who appear in the current application: Gravenberch from Bayern, Zirkzee, who now represents Bologna, Summerville, who was bought by Leeds, not to mention the wide list of the representatives of the Dutch giants. There is no surprise that the national team confidently, without a defeat, overcame the qualification: 8 wins and 2 draws, with a goal difference of 32-3 – even strong Switzerland appeared behind by 3 points. The Euro started with a duel against neighbouring Belgium. Everything ended with unexpected, pragmatic goalless draw.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The last time the teams played at the U21 level was in the previous cycle, in 2019-2020. Then they exchanged spectacular home victories.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that the chances of the opponents are equal. Still, the Portuguese are clearly not in the best mood – we bet on the Dutch with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.909).
