Euro U21 2019 Betting Tips

The 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship will take place between the 16th and 30th June in Italy and San Marino. This will be the 22nd edition of the popular football tournament and gives European fans of international football a great tournament to watch in the summer.

Not only will the tournament crown the best European nation at Under-21 level, it also serves as European qualifying for the Olympic Games football tournament in 2020.

A total of 12 teams will participate in the tournament and will be drawn into three groups, each containing 4 teams. The winners of each group and the best runner-up qualifies for the semi-finals and also the 2020 Olympic Games.

The defending European Under-21 champions are Germany but which other teams could challenge for title this year? Find out by reading our 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship predictions.

1. Format of the European Under-21 Championship

The 12 teams were split into three groups and our initial 2019 Euro Under-21 Championship betting tips surrounded the group stages of the tournament.

However, we now know the teams who have progressed the semi-final and the 2019 Euro U21 Championship betting odds have changed significantly. Only the group winners and the best runner-up had a chance of qualifying to the semi-final and there were some shock results.

Spain and defending champions Germany topped their group while Romania and France were level on 7 points in Group C, allowing both nations to progress. With the likes of England, Italy, Belgium, Denmark and Croatia knocked out of the tournament, some big names have been sent home early.

Which of the four remaining teams have what it takes to win the tournament? Continue below to find out more in our Euro U21 predictions.

2. Euro U21 Semi-finals Odds

The first semi-final will be played on the 27th June at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna between Germany and Romania.

It is not a shock to see Germany at this stage of the competition. They were one of the favourites with the bookmakers to win the event before a ball was kicked and many 2019 Euro U21 betting tips had them down as potential winners.

The Germans had little trouble progressing from their group. They defeated Denmark 3-1 before dismantling Serbia 6-1 to all but book their place in the last four. Germany were held in their final group game by Austria but there was little doubting their progress to the knockout stages. The 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship betting odds have Germany as the 2.75 favourites to win the tournament.

Romania are the surprise package of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. They started as one of the major outsiders to win the event yet came through a group containing pre-tournament favourites, England. Romania beat Croatia 4-1 and England 4-2 in an extraordinary match.

The 0-0 draw with France was enough to see Romania finish top of the group and they have been exciting to watch. However, their run in the tournament could be about to come to an end and they remain the outsiders to win the competition at 7.00 with Unibet.

3. Who will Win the 2019 Euro U21 Championship?

The second semi-final, which is played on the same day is between the two European football powerhouses of Spain and France. The game will take place at the Mapei Stadium, Reggio Emilia.

Spain were in a tough group along with hosts Italy, Poland and Belgium. Three teams ended the group stage on 6 points but Spain progressed as group winners due to a superior head-to-head goal difference against the other two teams.

Having started with a 3-1 loss to Italy, Spain secured a last minute victory over Belgium in their second match but the performances were not convincing. However, the Spanish delivered an emphatic display in their final group game to beat Poland 5-0 and claim their place at the top of Group A.

France finished second in Group C on goal difference to Romania. Two late goals secured a 2-1 win over England in their first game of the group and the French went on to beat Croatia 1-0 in their second match. A 0-0 draw in the third game against Romania was enough to ensure France reached 7 points and they would qualify for the semi-final as the best runner-up.

However, Spain looked very good in the win over Poland and are one of the the favourites in the 2019 Euro U21 odds at 2.30 to win their semi-final.

Nonetheless, it is difficult to look beyond Germany at this stage and they are the leading nation in our Euro U21 predictions to win the tournament at 2.75 with Unibet.
