Netherlands U21 vs Denmark U21 Preview and Team News

Netherlands U21 Team News

Michael Reiziger’s young men are highly regarded as one of the standout teams in the race for EUROs success this Summer. The U21s have been in vibrant form throughout the calendar year. 

Their ultra-offensive possession-based style has already seen them record victories in each of their previous three games. Meanwhile, they have a strong defensive unit, having conceded only once in the same period. 

The Netherlands U21 made a rocky start to their Euro 2025 campaign with a 2–2 draw against Finland. 

Early errors, such as a loose pass from Ian Maatsen, led to Finland’s two-goal advantage, exposing issues in their buildup. At halftime, coach Michael Reiziger transitioned to a more fluid 4‑3‑3, injecting Luciano Valente to add creativity and forward impetus; this shift restored balance and helped reduce Finland’s control. 

Attacking movements became more effective due to vertical runs from the flanks and improved connections through the midfield. Subtle pressing targeted Finland’s midfield buildup, which caused them to drop deeper defensively. Earnest Poku’s late equalizer resulted from increased aggression and better transitional play.

As is traditionally the case with the Netherlands, they’ll select a 4-3-3 system, with huge emphasis put on the wide players in the attack. This will form an integral part of the defence by dropping in when the Dutch don’t have possession of the ball. Reiziger will have a fully fit squad available for the second group stage game.

Denmark U21 Team News

Steffen Højer will be hopeful of a return to form for his team this Summer. However, the initial signs aren’t promising after failing to win in each of their previous four internationals. 

Scoring goals has been a continued issue for Denmark, but the coach is unlikely to revert from his counter-attacking style against a possession-based team like the Netherlands. When they have the ball, the squad have struggled to make an impression, with their wide players often being slow to join the attack.

Denmark U21 began their Euro 2025 campaign with a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory against Ukraine. After falling behind, coach Steffen Højer made crucial changes, notably substituting Clement Bischoff and Anton Gaaei, which helped turn the game around.

That was reflected in their recent draw against Italy, managing only a single shot on target. They’ll need to be more efficient on the counter-attack when they have the chance against the Netherlands.

Netherlands U21 vs Denmark U21 Prediction 

• Pick: Netherlands U21
• Odds: 1.59 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Netherlands U21 3-0 Denmark U21

Denmark’s passive approach in recent internationals is a worrying trend against a Dutch outfit that have been efficient in the attacking third. 

Therefore, the Dutch could be the standout Netherlands U21 vs Denmark U21 prediction on Sunday. Their ability to be direct will be a key factor this weekend, as they are typically slow to get their attacking players up the field when they transition the ball. 

An easy night at the office could follow for the Netherlands based on the recent performances of both of these nations. 

Netherlands U21 vs Denmark U21 Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)

The recent stats of both of these clubs mean there could be value in over 2.5 goals being scored on Sunday. The Netherlands have registered at least two goals per game in each of their last three. 

Meanwhile, they’ve netted three in most of their previous five. Denmark have also scored in their last three internationals, but their weak defence has seen them concede at least two goals in two defeats over that period.
