Belgium U21 take on Netherlands U21in the round 1 match of UEFA Euro U21. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 21st at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium (Tbilisi).
Belgium has performed well in the current cycle. Throughout their history, the "Red Devils" have only sporadically qualified for continental tournaments. It's not that talent has been lacking; often players who quickly emerge here are already being utilized in the national senior team. Currently, players like De Ketelaere, Doku, and several others born in 2000 and later are already playing at a "mature" level, and this has had an impact on the team's potential. Nevertheless, even with this scenario, Belgium won 6 out of 8 matches with a couple of draws, confidently surpassing the Danes in the race for the top spot.

The Netherlands strives to utilize its potential extensively. The "Young Oranje" have a wide pool of talent, even broader than their geographical neighbors. All Dutch clubs, including Ajax, actively nurture players from their academies. However, more young talents played under Van de Looy (who has been in the position for 5 years and knows all the players well), forming a fairly stable group that includes Gravenberch, Van den Berg, Brobbey, Zirkzee, and the list goes on. It's no wonder that such a team won 8 out of 10 matches with a couple of draws. However, there was motivation: Switzerland constantly breathed down their neck, not allowing them to relax. In the end, the difference between the teams was 3 points, a one-win margin.
Until the fall of last year, there was parity with each team having one victory in four matches. However, in September, the Dutch won 2-1 in an away friendly match. Both countries traditionally rely on attacking football. Let's believe in the final outcome of "total goals over 2.5".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
