Favourites Looking for Routine Victory in Game One

Holland were exceptional in Euro qualifying, picking up ten wins out of ten in Group C. They scored a staggering 32 goals and shipped just three to finish 11 points ahead of second place.

Finland are making just their second Under 21 European Championship appearance. The Finns finished runners-up behind Romania in Group E, winning six, drawing two, and losing two. They faced Norway in the play-offs, winning 6-3 on aggregate to progress.

Group D in Slovakia is fascinating, with Netherlands, Finland, Ukraine, and Denmark battling it out. Jong Oranje are fancied to win the group, but the fight for second is wide open. Finland will fancy their chances of booking their place in the knockout phase.

The Dutch are one of the tournament favourites, currently priced at 8.00 to lift the trophy. They won the competition in 2006 and 2007 but have failed to get past the semi-final stage since. Finland’s only previous appearance came in 2009 – they lost all three games and were eliminated in the group stage.
