England U21 vs Netherlands U21 Preview and Team News

England U21 Team News

Despite being considered slight underdogs, England delivered a top-level performance against Spain. Lee Carsley’s side had an early 2-0 lead, and while they conceded a goal late in the first half, in the injury time, Elliot Anderson’s penalty sealed the victory for the Brits.

The reigning U21 champions look solid in every part of the field. In addition, they created a lot of chances against their opponents, producing 2.55 xG. However, they must be more diligent in the defence, as any error could be costly.

There are no injury or suspension worries for England. Given the last game’s display, we expect the same lineup in Wednesday’s clash. 

England U21 predicted lineup vs Netherlands U21: (4-3-3): Beadle; Livramento, Cresswell, Quansah, Hinshelwood; Hutchinson, Morton, Scott; McAtee, Stansfield, Elliott.

Netherlands U21 Team News

The Netherlands delivered a miracle against Portugal. Despite having only 10 men after Ruben van Bommel was sent off in the 21st minute, they stood firmly, and ultimately, Ernest Poku’s late strike ensured a victory for the Dutch squad.

However, the match could have gone the other way. Geovany struck a bar from the penalty kick, and Portugal generally had a big advantage. Nevertheless, the Netherlands showed ultimate resilience and booked a spot in the final.

Ruben van Bommel is suspended and will be unavailable against England. We also anticipate the AZ winger Ernest Poku to start from the first minute, given his heroics in the previous encounter. 

Netherlands U21 predicted lineup vs England U21: (4-3-3): Roefs; Maatsen, Hato, van den Berg, Rensch; Taylor, Valente, Flamingo; Poku, van Bergen, Manhoef. 

England U21 vs Netherlands U21 Prediction 

• Pick: England to Qualify
• Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: England U21 2-1 Netherlands U21

England’s superb performance against Spain deserves credit. If we didn’t see enough during the group stage from Lee Carsley’s men, they came out as a completely different team and beat the tournament’s favourites.

We think they’ll also have an edge against the Netherlands. Michael Reiziger’s squad had an energy-consuming clash and may find it difficult to contain England’s attacks.

We may not have the winner in regular time, but eventually Carsley’s men should reach the final. They have better players, unity, and in a tense clash, we suggest picking the following option: England to qualify. 

England U21 vs Netherlands U21 Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.62 (22Bet)

While the status of the match is huge and both sides are within range of advancing to the final, we don’t expect a low-scoring affair. England still experience problems in the defence, and the Netherlands are not efficient either.

If we look at the previous two H2Hs, both clubs ended with an exchange of goals. The same will probably happen here, due to the high-quality players on each side.

Luciano Valente and Harvey Elliott have netted two goals respectively, and Wednesday will offer a chance for them to extend their tally. A productive game looks probable, so our second pick would be both teams to score.
