Belgium U21 Cyprus U21 betting prediction

They come to this stage of the UEFA U21 Championship (Qualifying Round) after having finished the group stage in the 3^rd position of Group 6, with 6 points won. In the last 4 UEFA U21 Championship matches Cyprus U21 has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 7 out of 9 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 9 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

As mentioned before, the Cyprus national team comes for this match after a defeat against Belgium, returning to bad results after the victory against Turkey. Usually the coach Nikolaos Andronikos plays in 4-3-3, with Pittas being the most offensive reference of the visiting team: this player is very strong in finishing. However, it should be noted that the visiting team exhibits several failures in keeping the ball possession and defensive dead balls. For this match, the coach can count on all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Andreas Christodoulou, Andreas Karo, Christos Wheeler, Paris Psaltis, Panayiotis Artymatas, Konstantinos Sotiriou, Matija Spoljaric, Kyriakos Panagi, Ioannis Kousoulos , Giorgos Papageorgiou, Ioannis Pittas.
Coach: K. Makridis.
