Denmark U21 Team Overview

Netherlands U21 Team Overview
The Netherlands thrashed Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-0 in their final qualifying match. They scored all four goals after the break. Over the 90 minutes, the Dutch had 40 shots to their opponents’ four and did not allow Bosnia and Herzegovina a single shot on target.
The Netherlands only secured a place in the play-offs in the final round of the group stage. Before that decisive evening, Michael Reiziger’s side were third, one point behind Israel. The Netherlands thrashed Bosnia and Herzegovina (4:0), while Israel drew with Norway - enough to take second place. The visitors are vulnerable away from home: they won just one of their four group away matches and lost two. However, they scored in 23 of their last 25 matches. The coach was far from pleased to lose players to the senior team: “I don’t make the rules. The senior national team takes priority.”

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Denmark U21 have lost just one of their last 22 home matches. In European Championship qualifying, the Danes have slipped up only once in their last ten matches - away to group leaders Belgium. The risk is that Netherlands U21 have suffered just two defeats in their last 28 qualifying matches. But we are confident: without players from the senior national team, Netherlands U21 will not leave Vejle with three points. The pick is Denmark U21 to Win or Draw.
