Spain is one of the biggest favourites to win the U21 Euro. Spain always had a very strong youth team as their players play mainly in Spain and they play a similar style of football. Today's opponent is Croatia, this will be their first quarter-finals in history. The two sides have met 6 times in the past. Spain's U-21 team have a much better record with 5 wins, while Croatia was victorious on just one occasion. The main strength of this Spain's teams is their rock-solid defence as Spain conceded only 1 goal in the last 10 games. This team is very strong with Bryan Gil, Ibrahim Diaz and many more youngsters who play for the biggest clubs in the world. Croatia also has some good players like Majer from Dinamo Zagreb but Spain has a lot more quality players, especially in defence. Croatia already made a great achievement by playing in the quarter-finals but I doubt they can do something against Spain today. Spain likes to play possession football they have very good technical players and I think right now they are a much better team than Croatia. I expect a tough game without too many goals and Spain to win.

My prediction: Spain to win

西班牙是赢得U21欧洲杯的最大热门之一。西班牙有着非常强大的青年队阵容，因为他们的球员主要在西班牙踢球，而且他们踢的足球风格相似。今天的对手是克罗地亚，这将是他们历史上的第一次晋级八强。双方过去6次交手。西班牙 U21的战绩要好得多，取得了5场胜利，而克罗地亚队仅取得了一场胜利。这支西班牙球队的主要优势是他们的防守，在过去的 10 场比赛中只丢了1个球。他们有布莱恩吉尔、易卜拉欣迪亚兹和很多在大俱乐部效力的年轻球员。克罗地亚也有一些优秀的球员，比如来自萨格勒布迪纳摩的马杰尔，但西班牙有更多优秀的球员，尤其是在防守方面。克罗地亚闯进四分之一决赛已经取得了巨大的成就，但我不认为他们今天对阵西班牙能有太多的发挥。西班牙擅长控球，他们有非常出色的技术，我认为现在他们比克罗地亚更强。我本场可能没有太多进球，西班牙最终将获胜。

预测：西班牙胜
