With a squad like that, we expect England to win their first European U21 Championship in 35 years
Spanish youngsters are ready to show their clubs that they can count on them
Bookies expect England to win the U21 Euro 2019. It’s no surprise, the Three Lions has the most quality players in their squad. However, it would be silly to write off countries like France and Spain. We’ve made our predictions and collected the best U21 Euro 2019 winner betting odds for you.
The European football association, UEFA has been organizing the European Under-21 Championship since 1978 and it usually takes place every second year. In 2019 the host countries are going to be Italy and San Marino. The opening game kicks off on 16 June, the tournament ends on 30 June. This is going to be the first European Under-21 Championship where the referees can count on the help of the video assistant referees. There are only 12 nations who managed to qualify for the U21 Euro 2019. Since it’s an “Under-21” tournament, only players born after 1st January 1996 are eligible to play. Though this is not a senior competition, it doesn’t mean that we can’t bet on these matches. In fact, we already have our own opinions about which teams could perform well. In this article, we’re going to guide you through our predictions and the best U21 Euro 2019 betting odds.
England fans believe it’s coming home
Dominic SolankeEngland seem to have a promising future. Online sportsbook sites in the UK argue that they’re the favorites to win U21 Euro 2019 alongside France. That’s no surprise. The possible England squad is insane this year. There’s Southampton’s Angus Gunn in the goal, while Phil Foden, James Maddison and Ryan Sessegnon are also expected to play in the tournament. Dominik Solanke from Bournemouth and Demarai Gray from Leicester are also part of the team.England has about 30 outfield players who’s had top-flight minutes this season. Let’s not forget that he likes of Marcus Rashford, Dele Alli, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez are also eligible to play. Even if they stay at home for the summer, with such quality and squad depth we expect England to win their first European U21 Championship in 35 years. It’s coming home!
French U21 sides have been much less successful than their senior team
Unibet Sportsbook also expects France to compete for the trophy. At the time of writing this article, bookies believe the French U21 national team is just as likely to win the tournament as England. Though their senior team just won the World Cup last year, this is the first time France qualified for this competition since 2006. Sergi PalenciaThough Kingsley Koman and Benjamin Pavard are eligible to play, it’s unclear whether they’re going to turn up in June. However, France does have a strong side without them as well. There’s their captain, Abdou Diallo from Dortmund, Ousmane Dembélé from Lyon or Jonathan Bamba from Lille. Players like them could mean a threat for anyone. However, we believe that England has more experienced players, and that could be a decisive factor by the end of the tournament.
Spanish Real Madrid and Barcelona youngsters have a chance to show themselves
As we’re going through the best U21 Euro 2019 betting odds, we must say a few words about Spain. Unibet Sportsbook argues that they’re currently the 3rd likely team to win the trophy. Spain does have a great history when it comes to this tournament. They’ve won 2 of the last four European U21 Championships, and they were finalists at the previous one as well. Therefore, it would be rather silly not to expect a great performance from them.The Spanish U21 squad includes at least 5 youngsters from Real Madrid and Barcelona. If we take a look at their predicted line-up it’s clear that half of their outfield players are contracted to these two giants. However, none of them plays week in-week out for their clubs, while Sergi Palencia and Borja Mayoral are currently on loan. This tournament is a great opportunity for these players to show their talents and prove that even the greatest clubs in Europe could count on them. We expect a great cup run from these lads.
