THE KEY STATS

  • The Netherlands have lost only one of their last 13 U21 EURO final tournament group matches (W6 D6).
  • The Netherlands have drawn four of their last five U21 EURO final tournament group matches (W1).
  • The Netherlands have lost only one of their last 17 U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W10 D6).
  • The Netherlands have qualified from their group in each of their last four U21 EURO final tournament appearances prior to 2023.
  • Georgia are aiming to become the first host nation to reach the knockout phase at the U21 finals since Sweden in 2009.
  • Georgia have lost only one of their last six U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W4 D1).

THE PREDICTION

This is a hugely important match. As it stands in Group A, the Netherlands are on two points, sitting below Belgium on goals scored. Belgium face Portugal, on one point, whilst current group leaders, Georgia, will be eliminated if both Belgium and the Dutch win in this final round of fixtures. The Netherlands have depth throughout their squad but will be quite frustrated with back-to-back draws so far. Georgia, it is fair to suggest, may not have qualified for this competition if they weren’t hosts but they have surprised everyone by collecting four points in their opening two matches by beating Portugal and then fighting back from 2-0 down to draw with Georgia. The Dutch need to and will be confident of scoring but Georgia will show serious fight as they challenge for a surprise knockout qualification.
