Croatia U21 - Belarus U21

The Czechs left a pretty good impression against the English, even though they lost 1-3, but they had the score and also had good chances in the Peru match, they just couldn't convert them. It was clear that they lacked class in defense against a talented opponent and I think a similar scenario could happen today against the Germans. The Czechs will have their hands full again in defense, as the Germans look too strong on the offensive, with players like Waltemade who seem to be on a different level. But in defense, just like the English, the Germans also have their problems. Both in qualifying matches and friendlies, it has been their Achilles' heel, as Ghana was able to score against them and in the first match, the Slovenians were unable to score despite having chances. It may not go as well against the Czechs, as they have more attacking weapons than the Slovenians. I think it will be an open game, as the Germans need 3 points and the Czechs need to win in order to keep their fate in their own hands.

Judge A. Herrera from Venezuela showed four warnings in the first match. For the Czechs, this is the decisive battle where they need to earn at least points if they want to have any hope. In the first match against the English, they did not receive any warnings, even though they committed eleven fouls. Therefore, the players do not need to hold back today. The Germans are the favorites here, as they won their first match against the Slovenians with a score of 3-0, but they also had 20 turnovers and were only warned once.

In the first match, Netherlands showed all of their advantages and drawbacks, which were obvious in friendly matches - there were many opportunities, but the execution was lacking. However, the team still managed to score at least a few periods, and the defense was unreliable, with opponents taking advantage of their mistakes and causing them to pay in the final stages. As a result, they only tied 2-2 with Finland. I don't expect anything new from Netherlands when playing against Denmark, they will need Peru again, they will have to attack and all the staff will be on the offensive, there's simply no other option, especially since it's known that the Danes also have problems with their defense and it would be strange not to try to take advantage of that. I hope for a typical match for this Netherlands generation - lots of action near both goals and also goals in at least a few periods.
