Portugal and Sweden will determine the winner of the Euro U-21 this Tuesday, when both sides clash for the second time in the tournament. Both teams made it to the final match after strolling past their semi-final games against Germany and Denmark, and this might come in handy for a match that promises to be a nail-biter for fans around the world.
Portugal's form during the tournament has left no doubt they have one of the best midfields in this category. Players such as William Carvalho, Sergio Oliveira, Joao Mario and Bernardo Silva have attracted all the scouts attention, and the team's chances of winning the tournament will heavily rely on what this quartet can do.
During their previous game against Germany, Portugal flew past Die Mannschaft with a thunderous 5-0 result, which was rather shocking since both teams have enough talent among their lines for such a score to be possible. Coach Rui Jorge might want to look into repeating his squad, given that defender Tiago Ilori hasn't recovered from a thigh injury.
On the other hand, Sweden gets to the final game with a little help from one of their star players: John Guidetti. The striker has shown his great skills in key matches, including two goals and one assist in the tournament's four games. The Swedes destroyed Denmark 4-1 in the semis, and they did it without Joseph Baffo, one of the team's most dependable center backs.
Their previous meeting in the tournament ended up with a 1-1 draw that left all the emotion for the final ten minutes. Portugal went ahead with a goal by Gonçalo Paçiencia, but the Swedes equalized with only one minute left thanks to Simon Tibbing's goal. Will the Portuguese emerge victorious as expected, or will the yellow and blue side shock European experts by defeating Rui Jorge's men?
