  • England are through to the semi-finals for the 10th time. Their record at this stage of the tournament is W3 L6 (this is ties won and lost, not matches).

THE PREDICTION

These two have already met earlier on in the UEFA Under-21 European Championships when England comfortably defeated Israel by two goals to nil in the group stages. Israel managed to fend off competition from Czechia and Germany to progress into the quarter-finals, where they pulled off something of a surprise by defeating the tournament surprise package, Georgia, who have co-hosted the event. England have been the most dominant and impressive side in the competition with four wins out of four, yet to concede, including victories against 2021 finalists Germany and Portugal. Another comfortable English win is expected.

BETTING TIP: ENGLAND TO WIN TO NIL
