Israel U21s and England U21s renew hostilities on Wednesday evening (17:00) at the Baumit Arena, with a place in the U21 European Championships final at stake. We have previewed the match and given you our best bets for the occasion.
Israel U21 vs England U21 Tips
England (1/3) are eyeing a place in the U21 European Championship final as they take on Israel aiming to maintain their flawless record this week.
The Young Lions head into their first Euros semi-final in six years having won every single game at the tournament while not conceding a single goal.
Lee Carsley’s side were 2-0 winners when his side met Israel in the group stages, and he will be hoping for a similar outcome on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, this is only the third time Israel (7/1) made it to the U21 European Championship. On the previous two occasions, the Sky Blue and Whites were knocked out in the group stage.
Guy Luzon’s men emerged victorious from a fiercely-contested quarter-final game against Georgia that stretched into extra-time following a goalless draw after 90 minutes.
Team News
Emile Smith Rowe and Cole Palmer are all in contention to start, but head coach Lee Carsley could stick with the side that started the quarter-final.
Carsley must also cope without two suspended players for the semi-finals, as Ben Johnson and Max Aarons picked up milestone bookings against Portugal.
Daniel Peretz and Eden Karzev will be suspended for Israel after both were cautioned for the second time against Georgia, while Roy Revivo is back from a punishment of his own.
Under 2.5 total goals @ 4/5
England is the only nation that still has a 100% record in 2023 U21 Euros.
The Young Lions have not only won each of their four matches played so far, they also kept a clean sheet in all four matches.
All these four matches also ended with fewer than 2.5 goals so I’m backing it once again here.
Anthony Gordon to score anytime @ 8/5
The Newcastle United man has scored twice so far during the tournament, including in the group stage clash with Israel.
The winger scored the winning goal against Portugal in the quarter-finals, and also bagged four goals in six games during the qualifying process so I think he’s a decent shout to get on the scoresheet here.
