Poland U21 vs Belgium U21 Prediction & Betting tips
From next Sunday, a total of twelve European Under-21 national teams fight for the coveted title at the European Championship finals in Italy & San Marino. While the favorite field with England, France, Italy, Spain or Germany is quite wide-ranging, there are also numerous outsiders who have justified hopes for the semi-finals.
Among those underdogs in Group A are certainly the Poles and the Belgians, who have limited prospects behind hosts Italy and the reigning runner-up European title. To possibly cause a surprise, it would be extremely important for both teams to start in a direct duel to kick off with a threesome.
Between Poland and Belgium, the odds offered for a success of the “Young Devils” imply a 46% chance of victory. This assessment is quite reasonable, because after all, left the Belgians in qualifying the sovereign impression compared to the Poles. The fact that the squad of coach Czeslaw Michniewicz should not be underestimated, we know at least since the playoffs, in which the Polish offspring Portugal deservedly had in the barriers.
Because a lot of things are possible in an opening match of a big tournament anyway and ultimately lack the exact standards to optimally assess the performance levels of each participant seems to us before the match Poland vs. Belgium a forecast to be more lucrative on the more highly endowed success of the supposed underdog.
Poland:
For the Polish U21 national team alone, the qualification for this European Championship finals is already a great success. After a 23-year absence, the White-Reds 2017 celebrated their comeback on the European junior stage, but disappointed at the home European championship across the board. After three rounds only one point was on the credit side, so that the team, at the time a certain Krzystof Piatek had to make do with the Joker role, after the group phase canceled the sails.
Two years later, the men of coach Czeslaw Michniewicz set the goal to collect more meters and thus possibly to make the leap to the semi-finals. But this will not be easy either, because in a group with Italy, Spain and Belgium “Polska” is considered the weakest team. Nevertheless, the young Biało-Czerwoni has impressively demonstrated in the qualification that they have rightly solved the ticket for the European Championship in Italy & San Marino.
In ten qualifying games, the Poles remained completely unbeaten (six wins, four draws), but still had to settle for second place behind Denmark. As a consequence, two playoff matches against the highly rated Portuguese were on the program, in which the Michniewicz-Elf unexpectedly prevailed 3-2 on the way home and away.
These positive experiences from the dramatic playoffs, in which the Red-Whites, after a 0-1 defeat in front of their home crowd in the first leg, the return leg of the European champion offspring won 3-1, are a not to be underestimated argument to Sunday evening between Poland and Belgium a tip to higher quotas on the supposed underdog to dare.
The fact is that you are in the squad of the world ranking-20. searching in vain for internationally renowned talents. The most valuable player in the Polish squad is Dawid Kownacki of Fortuna Dusseldorf. In addition, Rafael Szymanski of Legia Warsaw is likely to attract much of the scouting interest. Due to the individual quality available only in moderation, the collective is all the more written, which we consider to be an exciting and thoroughly promising approach, especially since the bookmakers are known to be guided by outstanding individualists in their distribution of betting odds.
Belgium:
Similar to the Polish U21 national team, the Belgians also have one player in their ranks, who caused a sensation at Fortuna Dusseldorf last season. The speech is of course by Dodi Lukebakio. The tall and fast attacker was involved in a total of 14 goals of the Rhinelander and scored three goals, including in the away game at Bayern Munich.
No wonder that the loan of English Premier League club Watford in the coming season is very likely to draw a new club. Diverse Bundesliga clubs should be interested, although the advisers of the 21-year-old certainly hope that Lukebakio also plays great in the upcoming U21 European Championship and then flutter even better doped offers on the table.
Lukebakio is one of the most promising talents in the Belgian U21, otherwise relying almost entirely on players who were previously unable to gain a foothold in the senior team. On the one hand, what could turn out to be an advantage in terms of being a recluse and the rehearsed automatisms, on the other hand, can certainly also be regarded as a risk or disadvantage due to a lack of experience at the highest international level.
Looking alone at the results in the European Championship qualification, then in the upcoming duel between Poland and Belgium, a prognosis on the young devils is difficult to refute. The team of Johan Walem collected an impressive 26 points from ten qualifying games (eight wins, two draws) and conceded only five goals.
The latest three internationals of the Belgians, however, raise a few minor question marks. Following the already disappointing 3: 3 draw against Romanians in November last year, the Young Devils suffered bitter defeats against Denmark (2: 3) and France (0: 3) in both March and early June. Nine conceded goals in three games may be an indication that the defensive is not as solid as expected.
The self-confidence is cracked after these mixed performances something. In addition, there is the fact that it is a kick-off game in a big tournament, where the clocks known to tick something different anyway and alleged quality advantages are equalized by other smart factors. The bottom line, therefore, we would not be averse – in spite of probably better individual players – in the match against Poland. Belgium to place a tip on the white-red.
