How are both teams coming into this?
Spain U21 come into this clash after a strong start in the tournament, impressing a sell-out crowd in their opening fixture at the National Football Stadium in Bratislava. Spain U21 have showcased their trademark possession-based play and lethal finishing, making them firm favourites heading into matchday two.
Romania U21 head into the game under coach Daniel Gabriel Pancu and are eager to find their first win of the competition. While their UEFA U21 Championship campaign has been challenging, Romania’s resilient defence and quick transitions on the break can pose a threat to any opponent.
Our forecast
We anticipate Spain U21 to control the tempo and create numerous chances, given their technical quality in midfield and attack. Romania U21 will likely sit deep and look to exploit spaces on the counter, but they may struggle to contain Spain’s fluid passing movements.
Considering Spain’s attacking prowess and Romania’s defensive posture, backing an over 2.5 goals market seems prudent. There is also value in a “both teams to score” bet, as Romania possess the pace to sneak in a goal on the break.
