Portugal U21 vs Poland U21 Preview and Team News

Portugal U21 Team News

Rui Jorge will be hoping to lead Portugal to further success this summer following the senior team’s Nations League dominance at the start of June. Portugal youngsters have an excellent record in the U21 EUROs, having reached at least the final in two of the previous five editions.

However, their attacking style of play hasn’t been without its setbacks this time round, as they were out-scored by England at the end of March. But their dynamic 4-3-3 formation does enable them to get players forward in transitions.

In the first round, Portugal drew 0-0 with France, despite creating numerous chances and having a good chance to win.

Portugal will be without two key players for the EUROs. Eduardo Quaresma and Fabio Silva both withdrew from the team due to injury before their opening game against France.

Poland U21 Team News

Adam Majewski will be hopeful that his Poland U21s can cause an upset in the EUROs. However, they’ll face an uphill challenge after being drawn alongside Portugal and France. 

It’s tricky to foresee their defensive approach working well based on the fact that a similar approach has seen them crash out in the group stage in each of the last two tournaments.

In the first round against Georgia (1-2), they had several scoring opportunities that they failed to convert. However, they made two serious mistakes in defense, which their opponents exploited.

A back five will once again be placed by Majewski, with Patryk Peda and Łukasz Bejger set to form an important central defensive partnership. There will be pressure on Filip Szymczak to hold the ball up and bring the midfielders into play.

• Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Portugal U21 3-0 Poland U21

Portugal will be among the leading contenders to win the EUROs this Summer, and their offensive quality could come to the fore on Saturday. Their expansive strategy and the dynamism of their wide players could help break down a compact Polish defence. 

The fact that the visitors have allowed ten goals in their last four internationals may be a worrying trend. Therefore, Jorge’s side could be the standout selection when making a Portugal U21 vs Poland U21 prediction.

Portugal U21 vs Poland U21 Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.63 (22Bet)

All the trends point to a high-scoring affair should Portugal break the deadlock early. Poland have allowed ten goals in their last four, but they’ve also scored five in their previous two. 

Portugal’s recent internationals have been high-scoring clashes, netting eight goals and averaging two per game across their latest fixtures.
