- Competition: EURO U19
- Date: 14th June 2025
- Kick-off: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CEST
- Venue: Ilie Oană Stadium
England U19s and Norway U19s are set to clash on Saturday night in Ploiești, with both teams eager to start their EURO Group B campaign on a high.
This is the Junior Three Lions' first participation in the Euros since 2022, when they won all their games from the group stage to the final and lifted the trophy for the second time in their history. They will be looking to replicate this performance and their current form is in their favour. Antwi's side won each of their last three games, scoring at least three goals in each.
Meanwhile, Norway U19's recent performances have been completely the opposite. The Norwegians boast only one win from their last three games and conceded five goals. Having also lost their opening game in the last Under-19 European Championship, they will need to be at their best to beat England this weekend.
England U19 vs Norway U19 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The last time the England Under-19s failed to score was in September 2019. The junior Three Lions have scored in each of their last 13 matches, netting at least twice in ten of those fixtures, with bets on over 2.5 goals winning in eleven of them.
Norway U19 kept a clean sheet in their friendly victory over Spain U19 in February, but this was a rare occurrence. They conceded two or more goals in two of their last three matches, and shipped five against Portugal U19 in their last Euro match.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- England U19 vs Norway U19 prediction: 3-1
England U19 team news
England U19s head coach Will Antwi is not expected to make many changes to the team that started the 3-1 win against Iceland U19s earlier this month.
Kadan Young and Tom Watson, who both scored in that match, are set to reunite in the final third alongside Walsall forward Ethan Wheatley, while Triston Rowe is pushing for a place in midfield.
