• Malta U19 vs Poland U19 Prediction: UEFA EURO U-19 Match on 06.07.2023

Key Highlights

Portugal U19 won four of their last five matches ahead of the Euro U19s; they drew once in this run, completing an unbeaten run of fixtures heading into the opener against Poland U19. They will look to take this momentum into the tournament, especially when they clash with a very good Italy U19 side on Thursday. The focus will be controlling the midfield area, minimizing the counter-attacks, and bossing possession to optimize the chances they create, thus bolstering their chances of taking the three points on offer.

Ahead of the kickoff against Malta U19, Italy drew their last two matches heading into the championship; these matches came against Slovenia U19, which ended in a 0-0 stalemate, and against Belgium U19, which finished 2-2. In their last five matches before the tournament, they drew two times and won three times, with the wins coming against Hungary U19 (3-0), Hungary U19 (7-2), and Germany U19 (2-3). They will look to better this record in Group A with a win against Portugal U19 on Thursday.
