England U21 vs Spain U21 | Date: Saturday, 8July 2023 | Kick-off: 19:00 CET | Venue: Batumi Arena (Adjarabet Arena) (Batumi)
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: England U21 to become champion – 1.90
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals under 3.5 – 1.27
These two teams met last time in 2011. The clash was ended 1:1.
However, there are factors working in England U21 favor, the most important of which being a flawless defensive record in this competition. This might put them in position to become the first Euro U21 side to win the trophy without allowing an opponent to score on them since the Spain U21 in 1998.
In the previous two meetings teams scored less than 3.5 goals.
Moreover, in the last four Euro U21 final matches saw less than 3.5 goals.
England and Spain’s under-21 teams have deservedly reached the final. Starting from matchday 1, both teams played good, high-class football.
However, when it comes to comparing the two sides, the young Three Lions look way better than La Rojita.
England have won all their games in the tournament without conceding a single goal and scoring 10 times. It speaks to the fact that England U21 are too strong, both defensively and offensively.
Meanwhile, Spain U21 have won four games and played out a draw against Ukraine U21 in the group stage match. Spain, in contrast to their opponents, have not kept a clean sheet in any of their three previous encounters.
In fact, they have conceded goals in the 80th minute or later on two of these occasions. Nevertheless, they are coming into this game after impressive victory in the semi-finals (5-1 against Ukraine), and they have a significant source of incentive.
England U21: Trafford; Aarons, Colwill, Harwood-Bellis, Garner, Ramsey, Gibbs-White, Jones, Gomes, Gordon, Madueke
Spain U21: Tenas; Miranda, Pacheco, Paredes, Gomez, Baen, Blanco, Sancet, Ruiz, Gomez, Rodri
