Netherlands U21 will looking to continue their impressive form in 2023 Euro qualifying on Monday when they travel to Chișinău next week to face Moldova U21.
The hosts finished the 2021/22 U21 European Championship qualifiers with just three wins from ten games, and it looks like that will be repeated this time. Stefan Stoica's side have picked up just two wins from their six outings so far and most of the blame go to their defence. They have conceded the second-highest number of goals in Group C.
The Netherlands U21s meanwhile are having a memorable qualifying campaign. The visitors are one of the two nations that still have a 100% record in U21 European Championship qualifiers (six wins from six games) and also boast one of the best defenses in the competition.
Moldova U21 vs Netherlands U21 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The hosts suffered a heavy defeat in the reverse fixture without scoring, but there have been some signs of improvement in the final third recently. Ștefan Stoica's side have scored in each of their last two games and I expect that streak to continue on Monday.
Speaking of improvements upfront, the Netherlands are unstoppable at the moment. Indeed, Oranje Holland managed to score at least one goal in each of their last nine matches in all competitions. In four of the last five fixtures, bets on over 2.5 goals were won.
Another reason why I fancy at least three goals in this game is the fact that the recent encounters between these two nations were highly entertaining. The last three encounters all ended with exactly three goals and I don't think Monday will be any different.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Netherlands U21 team news
With his brace in the win over Sweden U21s in November, Ruben van Bommel now has three goals for the Netherlands U21s and the AZ Alkmaar winger will be looking to add to that tally on Monday.
Emanuel Emegha, who has scored six or seven goals for Strasbourg in Ligue 1 this season, is expected to lead the line here and could be joined in the final third by Myron van Brederode and Sontje Hansen.
