🇮🇹 Italia 1-0 ROMÂNIA 🇷🇴Comme souvent, comme toujours.
Penalty raté de Munteanu, but annulé de Stoica, lob en or loupé par Mitrov.
Les U21 sont déjà au bord de l’élimination et les munitions étaient là. Manque de clarté dans les 30 derniers mètres. Foutus regrets. pic.twitter.com/RWw8D0j2Kj

Their preparation matches came with mixed results. Romania drew with Spain (1-1), but lost to Portugal (4-1), followed by a surprising 1-0 loss to Poland. In their last two fixtures, they faced Switzerland’s U20 in a double encounter.
In the first game, Romania secured a 1-0 victory, while the second meeting was more open-ended, finishing in a 3-3 tie.
Romania will host the U19 EURO, which should give them a decisive advantage. They’ve been paired with Montenegro, Spain, and Denmark.
The support of their fans helped them secure a narrow 2-1 victory against Montenegro U19. After conceding the open goal, Emanuel-Pavel Marincău scored the equaliser. In the 90th minute, David Barbu scored his first goal for the U19 and the winning one for his team.

Spain U19 Team News
Spain will enter the EURO attempting to keep their trophy. They defeated France 2-0 in the final of the last edition. They are the favourites of the tournament, having won this tournament eight times.
The Spanish side qualified for the EURO with a tight record. They finished second in their group, but demonstrated they can navigate through chaotic waters to secure victories. It’s worth noting that only Nordic nations have defeated Spain in recent months: Norway and Iceland.

As is often the case, the Spanish delegation includes Catalans like Quim Junyent, André Cuenca and Joffre Torrents. The squad also includes other team seniors at club level: Jon Martín (Real Sociedad) and Antonio Cordero (Newcastle United).
Spain challenged the USA to a friendly in early June as their last preparatory match. It ended in a 1-1 tie. The Spaniards conceded a goal in the first minute, but Cordero’s strike in the 16th minute brought the game to a standstill.
Just like Romania, Spain started the tournament with a narrow victory. Although Spain was the better team, they required an own goal by Oscar Gadeberg Buur to secure a 1-0 victory.
Spain U19 Predicted lineup vs Romania U19
Spain U19 Predicted lineup vs Romania U19 (4-3-3): Jiménez; Fort, Martín, Cuenca, Muñoz; Marcos, Merino, Pueyo; Díaz, Jeanne, Cordero.

- Score Prediction: Romania 1-2 Spain U19
Although Romania have the home advantage, it might be insufficient against Spain. The two squads met earlier this season and drew 1-1. However, the guests have learned from their mistakes and have become resilient offence and defence.
The Spaniards can rely on a mix of youngsters with La Liga experience and La Masia academy graduates, whose performances helped the team reach their current level.
Romania U19 vs Spain U19 Betting Tip
- Pick: Omar Janneh to score
Although the visitors are known for their technical players, a physical striker is always helpful to finish the job in the penalty box. Omar Janneh, who plays with Atlético’s youth, has been the physical presence Spain have missed.
He may not always score, but he often frees space for his teammates in the final third. If there is anything Romania should watch out for, it would be his movement in the box. At his height of 1.87 meters, he’s one of the tallest players of his age.
