Team Analysis
Georgia U21 has been gradually emerging in European youth football in recent years. They qualified for the finals with decent performances in the qualifiers, showing tenacious fighting spirit and good tactical execution. In the first round of the group stage, they defeated Poland 2 - 1. However, they face some challenges. Their midfield player Lomidze (19 appearances, 4 goals) got injured and left the field 10 minutes after scoring, and his participation in this game is uncertain. His absence will undoubtedly have a significant impact on both the offensive and defensive ends of the team. Also, in the center - back position, three main players are absent, including Golijadze (7 appearances) who plays for Empoli in Serie A this season. But there is good news that Sazonov (11 appearances, 1 goal), who has been out for 9 months due to ACL injury, has made a comeback and started the first - round group - stage game and played the full 90 minutes.
Portugal U21 is always a strong contender in the UEFA U21 Championship. They have a rich pool of talented young players. Their playing style is characterized by technical proficiency and good teamwork. In previous competitions, they often show high - level offensive and defensive capabilities, and their players are well - trained in ball - control and attacking organization.
Squad Analysis
Georgia U21
In attack, they rely on players like Kveladze, the forward from Frosinone. The midfield has players like Siku'a from Basel, but overall, their midfield creativity may be affected if key players are absent. In defense, with the absence of several main center - backs, the newly - returned Sazonov and his partner Khvadagiani will need to hold the fort. However, the team's full - back positions also have some concerns as several players got yellow cards in the first game, such as Azaroveli, Maisuradze, and others, which may affect their performance in this game due to the risk of suspension.
Portugal U21
Up front, they have some outstanding young strikers who are capable of creating scoring opportunities. In midfield, their players are good at controlling the game rhythm and passing accurately. The defense is relatively solid, with players having good defensive awareness and physical strength. Their starting lineup is likely to be composed of players with rich experience in youth - level competitions.
Nowgoal Prediction
Georgia U21 will definitely try their best to defend and look for counter - attacking opportunities. But considering Portugal U21's overall strength, better squad depth, and more stable performance, Portugal U21 is more likely to take the initiative in this game. They are expected to control the ball and create more scoring opportunities.
