Portugal -0.5 is a big bet. Italy may be a traditional name, but that does not enter the field at the moment and what matters is the quality of the players.

Portugal is the great candidate for the title, in March in the group stage they achieved 3 victories in 3 games. Unchallenged victories, one against England which was another of the big favorites. Rui Jorge, coach, who has been in front of the U21 for many years, has already managed a final that he ended up losing on penalties against Sweden. He wants the title to crown the job and this year he has everything to win. In terms of quality the team is phenomenal, with players playing in the biggest clubs in Europe, but in addition to that and for me it totally makes the difference is that they are very tactically strong. The base of the team are the players who were champions of Euro U19, they play very well together and have grown a lot as players in the last 2 years.

Italy arrives with problems for this game and knows that they are not favorites, they will give everything to be able to hold the tie and take the game to extra time but I do not believe they are capable. The coach left AC Milan players L. Colombo and M. Gabbia out of the squad. In addition there are 3 very important players out due to suspension. G. Frabotta, R. Marchizza and the best player in the team is S. Tonali (midfielder of AC Milan). Without these players the team will be much weaker and without Tonali they will be without their "commander".

Portugal is much stronger technically and tactically. I expect a victory without major problems.

葡萄牙 -0.5 是本场的选择。意大利可能是一个传统强队，但目前在这个阶段还没有处在顶级水准，重要的是球员的实力。

葡萄牙是夺冠的大热门，他们在3月份的小组赛中取得了3场胜利。并且都是毫无争议的胜利，一场对阵英格兰，这是另一个夺冠的大热门。执教U21多年的主帅瑞·豪尔赫(Rui Jorge)已经执教U21多年，此前他带队踢了决赛，最终在点球大战中输给瑞典。今年他想要赢得冠军来巩固自己的帅位。就实力而言，这支球队是非凡的，很多球员们都在欧洲最大的俱乐部踢球，但除此之外，他们在战术上同样非常强大。球队的基础是欧洲U19冠军球员，他们一起表现得很好，在过去的两年里成长了很多。

意大利在这场比赛中遇到问题，并且知道他们不是晋级的热门，他们会尽一切努力保持平局并将比赛带入加时赛，但我不认为他们有能力。教练让AC米兰球员科伦坡（L. Colombo）和加比亚（M. Gabbia）离开了球队。此外还有3名非常重要的球员因停赛而缺席。 G. Frabotta、R. Marchizza 以及球队中最好的球员是 S. Tonali（AC 米兰的中场球员）。缺少这些球员，球队将变得更弱，没有Tonali的球队将没有他们的“指挥官”。

葡萄牙在技术和战术上要强得多。我认为本场他们会最终赢得胜利。
