The table toppers of group A, Spain, will face the bottom of the table, Montenegro, in the final group league match of both sides in the UEFA EURO U19 on 19th June.
This is going to be a tough match for Montenegro as they have lost both of their first two games in the tournament. On the other hand, Spain will try to maintain their winning streak and qualify for the knock-out stages by remaining undefeated.
INSIDE THE TEAM (MONTENEGRO U-19)
RECENT FORM- Though they had a strong qualifying campaign with 4 wins in their last 6 matches, Montenegro have lost back-to-back games and are on the verge of elimination from the tournament. They have lost their opening match of the tournament by a 1-2 margin against Romania, but suffered a humiliating defeat with a margin of 5-0 against Denmark. Their unorganized defense was unable to stop the counters of the opponents and was vulnerable to being stopped by the wing-plays of their rivals. Despite a strong performance in the qualifiers, they will start their next match on the back foot. Also, the fact that they have scored only 1 goal in the tournament will be a matter of concern for their coach.
LAST 5 MATCHES –
| WINS | LOSSES | DRAWS | GF | GA |
| 2 | 2 | 1 | 6 | 9 |
KEY PLAYERS – Andrej Camaj and Andrej Kostic could end the goal-scoring drought of Montenegro in the tournament. On the other hand, Juventus’s next-generation talent Vasilije Adzic could help his teammates from the midfield. The ball control and sharp passing quality of the centre midfielder, Andrija Bulatovic, could be fruitful for the Montenegro side.
INSIDE THE TEAM (SPAIN U-19)
RECENT FORMS – Spain will enter the match as favorites, having won both of their first two games of the tournament comfortably. The Paco Gallardo side has won 67% of their matches in the present year with an average of 2 goals/game. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches, scoring more than 10 goals.
LAST 5 MATCHES –
| WINS | LOSSES | DRAWS | GF | GA |
| 4 | 0 | 1 | 12 | 5 |
KEY PLAYERS – Pablo Garcia from Real Betis will be instrumental in both the forward and midfield positions. Omar Janneh has already provided an assist in the last match against Romania. Izan Merino of Malaga netted the opener against Montenegro is the midfield engine of the Spanish side. On the other hand, the creativity and the consistency of Oscar Marcos will create a problem for Montenegro. Jon Martin has shown strong aerial duels in their narrow victory against Denmark.
FINAL PREDICTION – Spain will play their next game with immense confidence. On the other hand, Montenegro will try to escape any further humiliation and wants to leave the tournament with some consolation. This is going to be an easy victory for the Spanish side against an underconfident side with a vulnerable defense.
EXPERT BETTING TIPS – Spain U-19 to win. Over 3.5 goals are highly plausible. A two-goal margin is good within reach given the gulf in class.
Predicted Score – Spain U19 3-1 Montenegro U19
