The UEFA Under-21 championship begins today and hosts Slovakia face a tough start against Spain.
The Spanish were runners-up to England in the last finals but lack key young talents like Yamine Lamal, Dean Huijsen, and Pau Cubarsi, who are already part of the senior team.
This offers Slovakia some hope as they start the tournament in front of a home crowd in Bratislava; however, Spain still has a squad full of talented players.
Slovakia U21s vs Spain U21s top betting tips
These teams last met in the Under-21 Euro qualifiers, with Spain winning both games 3-2, indicating tonight’s match could be thrilling, although opening group games can be tense.
BoyleSports offers BTTS at 6/10 but combining it with over 2.5 goals raises the odds to 20/23. The same odds apply for more goals in the second half.
Mateo Joseph has scored seven goals in 10 caps at Under-21 level. The Leeds striker arrives at the finals in high spirits after Premier League promotion but is 4/6 with Bet365 as an anytime scorer.
There’s better value backing a Slovakian scorer, with Adrian Kapralik, who has eight Under-21 goals, at 9/2 to score.
Italy U21s vs Romania U21s
In Group A, Italy faces Romania, with bookmakers favoring Italy to win in Trnava.
Like Spain, Italy has won this tournament five times, showcasing their pedigree and ambition to advance far.
BoyleSports prices them at 8/15 for a win, but odds increase to 6/4 for leading at both half-time and full-time.
Romania, however, could pose challenges with their attacking talent as they failed to score in only one qualifier, making BTTS an appealing option at 20/23 with BoyleSports. Adding over 2.5 goals increases odds to 6/4.
Portugal U21s vs France U21s
A major clash opens Group C as Portugal and France face off in Trencin, both eager to make an impact.
With Poland and Georgia completing the group, it would be surprising if Portugal and France didn’t reach the quarter-finals.
Securing the group top spot offers an easier quarter-final tie, so both teams aim for three points tonight.
This should be a tight match between evenly matched teams, with a half-time draw seeming likely at 23/20 with BoyleSports as both sides assess each other.
Portugal looks to captain Henrique Araujo for leadership; he is experienced with 29 Under-21 appearances and 11 goals, making him a good bet at 13/8 for an anytime scorer with Bet365.
