England begins the defense of their European Under-21 title against the Czech Republic tonight, with bookmakers favoring them for a strong start.
While England’s senior team often falls short, their youth squad has thrived, winning three European titles and the Under-20 World Cup in 2017.
Coach Lee Carsley has assembled a strong team for the tournament, and it would be surprising if they faltered against a Czech team that secured their spot through the play-offs.
Czech Republic U21s vs England U21s top betting tips
BoyleSports lists England as strong favorites at 4/9, but you can increase those odds to 5/4 by betting on Carsley’s team to lead at both half-time and full-time.
England averaged more than four goals per game in qualifying, and their two warm-up matches were high-scoring affairs. A 5-3 loss to France preceded a 4-2 win over Portugal, indicating a likely goal-heavy match.
Odds of 7/5 for over 3.5 goals are appealing with BoyleSports, as are the player markets. Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, a potential tournament star, is 2/1 to score a goal.
Germany U21s vs Slovenia U21s
Germany, looking to redeem themselves after a poor last Under-21 Euros, faces Slovenia in the other Group B match.
After twice winning Europe and finishing second between 2017 and 2021, Germany failed to advance from the group stage two years ago.
With coach Antonio Di Salvo, Germany went unbeaten in qualifying with eight wins and two draws.
They recently secured a 3-1 victory over Spain in a friendly, suggesting they could go far this summer.
BoyleSports favors them at 4/11 to beat Slovenia, but odds can be improved to 13/8 by betting on a win to nil. Germany is also enticing at 21/20 with a -1 handicap.
Nick Woltemade’s potential start is notable, having played for the senior team recently in the Nations League finals. He’s 4/5 to score, but Nicolo Tresoldi at 11/8 is also attractive in the same market.
Finland U21s vs Netherlands U21s
The Dutch, known for their Under-21 talent, begin their Group D campaign against Finland.
Finland, having last appeared in these finals in 2009 and qualifying via play-offs, are 11/2 outsiders with BoyleSports.
The Netherlands dominated qualifying, winning all 10 games and averaging over three goals per match, making them 4/11 favorites.
Utrecht’s Noah Ohio was key in qualifying, scoring seven goals, and is 6/5 with BoyleSports for an anytime goal.
Over 2.5 Dutch goals is tempting at 5/4, considering it occurred in all but one qualifier.
