Team Analysis
Norway U19
Coached by Luís Pimenta, Norway U19 qualified as Group 3 winners in the elite round, with a 4-0 win over Czechia, 2-1 over Croatia, and 0-0 draw with Luxembourg. Their recent 2-2 draw against England U19 on June 14, 2025, showed resilience, with goals from Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit and Sondre Granaas.

Resilience: Fought back to lead 2-1 at halftime against England, showing fight despite conceding a late penalty.
Key Players: Goalkeeper Sebastian Jensen and midfielder Mats Nunatak provide stability.
Weaknesses:
Defensive Lapses: Conceded a late penalty to draw 2-2 with England, with 1.0 goals conceded per game in recent matches.
Limited U19 EURO Success: Reached only the semi-finals once (2017), lacking knockout experience.
Netherlands U19
Managed by Mischa Visser, Netherlands U19 topped their elite round group with a 4-0 win over Czechia and a 2-1 victory over Croatia. They dominated Germany U19 3-0 on June 14, 2025, with Ayoub Oufkir scoring twice and Kees Smit adding a third.
Strengths:
Attacking Firepower: Oufkir (5 goals in qualifiers) and Smit lead a potent attack, averaging 2.3 goals per game, with a 3-0 win over Germany showcasing their edge.
Defensive Solidity: Kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 competitive matches, with defenders Livano Comenencia and Mylo van der Lans excelling.
Form: Unbeaten in their last 5 competitive games, with a 4-0 rout of Czechia.
Weaknesses:
Potential Overconfidence: As Group B favorites, they may underestimate Norway after their 3-0 win over Germany.

Goal Trends: 100% under 2.5 goals, 0% BTTS. Average goals per match: 2.5.
Prediction: Norway U19 1-2 Netherlands U19
Netherlands U19’s dominant 3-0 win over Germany and 2-0 head-to-head record give them the edge over Norway U19, who showed grit in a 2-2 draw with England but lack consistency. Netherlands’ attack (2.3 goals per game) and clean-sheet record (67%) should overpower Norway’s defense at Ilie Oană Stadium, though Norway may score.
