How are both teams coming into this?

Belgium U17 have shown flashes of brilliance, especially going forward, but have been a bit inconsistent at the back. They’ve claimed important wins against strong opponents and demonstrated a willingness to press high, making them a dangerous side on the break.
Our forecast
We expect a tightly contested match, with England U17 holding a slight edge thanks to their defensive stability and cohesive unit play. However, Belgium’s pace on the counter could force England into mistakes, so this could open the door for a thrilling contest.
