Portugal U21 have reached the final of this tournament on three occasions but are still chasing that maiden title. Under Rui Jorge, they were dominant in qualification, collecting a perfect 27 points from ten games. However, those narrow defeats in March friendlies against Romania and England serve as a reminder that nothing comes easy at this level.
France U21 arrive with a reputation for producing world-class talent and have historically performed well in these tournaments. Although specific form lines for this edition are hard to gauge, the French side will rely on their traditional strengths of speed, technical skill and depth across all positions.

Vorhersage
Expect a closely contested match as Portugal’s disciplined approach meets France’s dynamic flair. Both sides have the quality to influence the game in the final third, and midfield battles will likely decide control.
While Portugal U21 have shown resilience in qualifying and will look to assert their technical style, France U21 could edge the balance with moments of individual brilliance. A 1-1 draw with late drama or a narrow France win by 2-1 seems the most probable outcome, but this tie could easily swing either way.
