Israel U21 vs England U21 05.07.2023 Prediciton: UEFA U21 Euros

Match Overview

Israel U21 take on their English counterparts in the first semi-final of the UEFA U21 European Championships on Wednesday. Both teams have done extremely well for themselves so far in this competition, but Israel will feel that they have an outside chance of defeating England and cementing a place for themselves in the all-important final.

Key Highlights

While Spain and Ukraine take each other on in the second semi-final, England will hold the key over Israel in this one. England come into this game on the back of four wins in their last four matches, whereas Israel have won just two out of the last five matches that they have participated in. Form is on England's side, and this will allow them to use the momentum that they have. 

Injury Report

Neither of the teams have any major concerns with injuries. This means that they will be able to field their best possible starting lineups in this game. Emile Smith-Rowe, Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Gordon will be some of the players to watch out for in England.    

Prediction

While England U21 appear to be the downright favourites to win this game, Israel U21 cannot be taken lightly at all. When these two teams met earlier in the competition, England emerged victorious by a 2-0 scoreline. They will be keen on repeating this performance on Wednesday as well. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
