Wednesday marks the start of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship and we took a closer look at team news and how the tournament could pan out.
With there not being a men’s World Cup or European Championship to contend with this summer, you can feast your eyes on what looks to be an exciting Euro U21 Championship.
You can take matters for the tournament into your own hands at Bet9ja where you can find more than 160 markets per game and get live odds on who the favourites to win the trophy are.
Germany U21
Germany are the side who are currently favourites to win the championship with odds of 3.95 at Bet9ja but it has not been plain sailing for them leading up to the tournament.
The Germans have won just once out of their last five games in all competitions, including a disappointing 3-1 defeat against England back in September last year.
Antonio Di Salvo’s side are the current reigning champions of the U21 Euro’s and their star man is Youssoufa Moukoko, who contributed within seven goals and three assists in 26 Bundesliga outings for Borussia Dortmund last term in a season riddled with injuries.
England U21
England come into this tournament as second favourites behind the Germans with odds of 6.25 for them to lift the trophy for the first time since 2009.
Lee Carsley has plenty of talent within his squad for the Euro’s including several players that featured regularly in the Premier League last term such as Levi Colwill, James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White.
England will certainly feel confident heading into the Euro’s after they comfortably beat the favourites Germany 3-1 on their last meeting.
Spain U21
Spain are another country who are certainly in contention to win the U21 Euro’s this summer and you can get odds of this to happen at 6.50 at Bet9ja.
The Spaniard’s enter this tournament in a rich vein of form as they have not lost in their last 13 games as a group in all competitions, with their last defeat dating back to 2021.
Santi Denia will be hoping that his side can replicate the 2019 U21 Euro’s as they ended up winning the tournament after they beat Germany in the final.
Who do you think will come out on top? Bet here at Bet9ja!
