Preview

Reigning Champion and massive favorite for the U21 European Championship Spain takes on Norway in this semi final clash. The battle is being fought in Israel. Spain has won their three matches so far to nil. Russia was outplayed, but  scoreline ended just 1-0. Russia were without two of their very best players also for that match. After that Germany was defeated, also 1-0. Spain was the better side, but Germany could have gotten something out of it. In the last group game against the Netherlands they won 3-0. Both sides tinkered with the squad however (Netherlands much more).  

Norway outplayed Isreael but were extremely unlucky with the Ref. That game ended 2-2. Against the young lions (Enlgand) the Norwegians turned on the style, and allthough England had slightly more of the ball Norway won deservedly 3-1. The game against Italy was all about control. Getting into the semis! Norway went up 1-0 even late in the game, but an injury time goal evened out the score.

Team News wise, Canales (Valencia) is the most notable miss for this game, both sides can field an eleven close to full strength. The sides met not too long ago in a friendly. That was a fun game to watch as both sides went at it. Spain won 5-2.

Run of play

I expect Norway to pressure the Spaniards very much when they don't have the ball. The question is just how high up on the pitch coach Skullerud will be OK with doing it. Spain has a fantastic offensive line up and if Norway gets the pressure wrong they can be really hurt through the likes of Isco (Malaga (for now)), Alacantra (Barcelona) and in-form Real Madrid striker Morata who has scored in all of Spain's matches so far. Norway on the other hand will be confident they can get something out of this game as the side has some really talented players that can hit on the counter. They'll have to have a slightly more defensive mindset than normal though. Going forward is very much in the DNA of this fun to watch Norwegian side.

Betting Tips

Spain will dominate possession and has so much quality. They got to get the nod. 3/10 (1.30) is on offer from Betsson. I believe that's odds you very well can combine with Brazil for an accumulator coupon.
