Euro U19 Qualifiers.
The U19 format is strange, but it is what it is. Two separate qualifying stages are played at the same time - the first being the Q stage and the second the Q stage. Therefore, both of these teams played two matches against each other within three days. In this group, the Czech Republic celebrated a 3-0 win against Latvia, while Belgium drew 0-0 against Denmark. In the other group, Belgium won 2-0 against Estonia, and brought home a 4-0 victory against Cyprus. As always, I have no trust in the youth team, as there are always many mistakes/weaknesses in defense, but the Danish offense is of high class. When playing against each other, the youth only play friendly matches, but these friendlies show a tendency for scoring goals. Since 2006 (according to statistics), these teams have played 7 times, with 6 of those matches having a score of 4+ goals, and 4 of those matches ending with 5+ goals. In 6 out of 8 matches, the result was more than 2 goals scored in the first half. The trends cannot be hidden, no matter how rare or important the match is, so once again I am expecting a high-scoring match between two high-scoring teams.
