Can Netherlands Join Denmark in Last Eight?

Netherlands got up and running with a thrilling four-goal draw with Finland in Kosice. Jong Oranje were two goals down at the break, but second-half efforts from Luciano Valente and Ernest Poku earned Holland a point.  

The Dutch took the lead against the Danes on matchday two, with a 19th-minute Oliver Provstgaard own goal opening the scoring. However, Denmark went on to snatch a 2-1 win thanks to William Osula’s brace.

Ukraine were on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller in their opening matchup, losing 3-2 to Denmark in Presov. The Danes scored two goals in the last nine minutes to take the game away from Unai Melgosa’s men.

Ukraine bounced back from the gut-wrenching Denmark defeat with an impressive victory over Finland in game two. Vladyslav Vanat opened the scoring in the first half, and Maksym Braharu added a second after the break.

Netherlands U21 vs Ukraine U21 Betting Tips & Predictions

Ukraine will join Denmark in the last eight with a win, while a draw would probably be enough. Netherlands need to win to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stage. However, they could still miss out if Finland beat Denmark by a margin.

Reiziger’s Jong Oranje are the favourites, and Holland should have enough in the locker to get the job done in Presov. Take a punt on the Dutch to win -1 at 1.79, and back Netherlands to win both halves at 3.40.
