FYR Macedonia U21 vs Portugal U21 Prediction & Betting tips
Due to the unusual tournament mode ‘at the U21 European Championship in Poland, the situation before the last matchday in the individual groups is extremely exciting. Beside the three groups, only the best group size will be in the semi-finals. At the moment the second-placed teams from Czech Republic, Slovakia and Portugal are on three points and 3: 3 goals. Italy, which is currently third in Group C, also has this record. At the moment, the Czech Republic would be the semi-final due to the least yellow cards (!) And the better place in the coefficient grid.
FYR Macedonia U21:
For Macedonia, the U21 European Championship is almost finished after the 0: 5 opening match against Spain and the 2-2 against Serbia. In theory, Macedonia might still be able to win with a win against Portugal with a minimum of six goals if Serbia do not win against Spain, Slovakia are against Sweden, Poland wins with only one goal advantage against England and Czech Republic and Italy win against Denmark and Germany not win. That this scenario will not happen, you do not have to be a clairvoyant. And yet one must mention that Macedonia does not play a bad tournament.
The 0: 5 against Spain does not reflect the course of the game. The Macedons had a chance of 24:11 (!), Met among other things the bar and would have earned at least another goal. The Spaniards, with only six shots, found the way to the gate of the Macedonians five times. Against Serbia, Macedonia turned a 0: 1 lead into a 2-1 lead and had to swallow the equalizer only in the last minute. With a score of over 6.00 on a win against Serbia, the team has warned the betters of a better one, which I think the team is quite underestimated. Already in qualifying, Macedonia was the first to take a 6-3-1 record, among others France.
Portugal U21 :
In the end, the number of yellow cards from the team from Portugal could be a disaster. In the ranking of second place finishes, the Portuguese are third and last place, with seven yellow cards each with three more than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. As Group A will lead to Slovakia (three points) and Sweden (two points), Portugal will definitely have to win to secure the chances of a semi-final. From this point of view, the continuation is not necessarily in their own hands, but with a high victory against Macedonia, the Portuguese could make their contribution. The team was by no means convincing against Serbia. The goal for the 2-0 was only in the 89th minute. Seen over the whole game, the Serbs were equal to the Portuguese.
On the second day, Portugal lost the game by 1: 3 against Spain. After a 2-0 deficit, a goal from Bruma brought the Portuguese back in the 77th minute, conceding the goal to the 1: 3 with the final whistle as they threw everything forward. Against the U21 of Macedonia, the Portuguese U21 has a good record: of seven direct duels, Portugal won six, once separated the two undecided. But a victory could not be enough in the end, so the Portuguese are well advised to do something for the gate account.
