NETHERLANDS U21 VS. FRANCE U21: TIPS, PROGNOSIS & ODDS - 05/31/2021 - EUROPE: U21 European Championship - final round 

 


The Jong Oranje meet the Les Bleuets in the quarter-finals of the EM


The U21 from France are favorites in the quarter-finals against the U21 from the Netherlands. The Jong Oranje is offensively the strongest U21 European Championship team, whereas the Les Bleuets only conceded a single goal in the finals. So you could consider placing over 2.5 goals, although we would also rely on both teams to score. However, the bookmakers do not share our opinion on these two betting variants. The quarter-finals kick off at 6 p.m.

Betting tip and forecast

We suspect the French U21s will win this game. For this reason, we can recommend tip 2, especially since the betting odds are also promising. The analyzes indicate something that both teams will probably meet. The bookmakers do not agree on this, because the odds are very similar to a YES and NO. When it comes to over / under bets, we hardly dare to make a prediction, although we would personally bet on over 2.5 goals.
