- Competition: EURO U-19
- Date: 20th June 2025
- Kick-off: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: "Giulești" Stadium
The Netherlands U19s will be looking to maintain their 100% start to the UEFA EURO U19s tournament when they take on England U19s in Bucharest on Friday evening.
The Young Oranje began their campaign with a commanding 3-0 win over Germany U19 in Voluntari, and followed this with another five-star performance against Norway U19 in Ploiești earlier this week. Peter van der Veen’s team struggled in the first half, but two second-half goals from Smit and Konadu secured another three points. The Netherlands also kept a clean sheet - a huge motivation ahead of Friday's match against their Group B rivals.
Meanwhile, England U19 are still searching for their first win at the 2025 Euros in Romania. The Junior Lions had to settle for a point in a 2–2 draw with Norway U19 on Matchday one in Ploiești, despite taking the lead after only eleven minutes. Will Antwi’s men picked up just one point again against Germany U19 last time out, but they will be delighted with their fighting spirit, having been 5–1 down with 51 minutes on the clock.
Netherlands U19 vs England U19 Betting Tips: Netherlands U19 to win & Over 2.5 goals
The Oranje are set to win Group B regardless of Friday’s outcome, but I think even their second team could beat England. Antwi’s men have conceded seven goals in only two matches, and their run without a clean sheet stretches back to November 2023.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Netherlands U19 team news
Ayoub Oufkir was unable to add to his two goals on matchday one against Norway U19 on Tuesday evening but the Sparta Rotterdam forward is expected to keep his place in the starting line-up this week.
The 19-year-old is likely to be joined in attack by Jong Ajax forward Don-Angelo Konadu, who scored his first tournament goal last time out.

England U19 team news
All five of England U19's goals against Germany U19 last time out were scored by players who started that game, so head coach Will Antwi may be tempted to stick with his XI.
However, Sam Amo-Ameyaw could be on the bench after being replaced by Kadan Young at the start of the second half in that match.
