Lee Carsley’s England squad have built up some momentum going in to the knock-out stages of the U21 European Championships thanks to three group stage wins without conceding a goal.
The Young Lions, who were only beaten once in qualifying, topped Group C with three 2-0 wins over Czech Republic, Israel and Germany to set-up tonights quarter-final clash with Portugal.
The Portuguese needed an 89th minute penalty in their final game against Belgium to book their place in the last eight after picking up just one point from their previous two matches.
But it’s an experienced Portugal squad, with players plying their trade across Europe so Carsley’s men could be up against their toughest test at the tournament so far.
SBK make them 20/21 to win inside the 90 minutes and 4/9 to qualify. Portugal are 3/1 inside the 90 and 13/8 to progress.
It’s hard to back against England after an impressive group stage and with Portugal being less convincing in their games so far.
In the other quarter-final France are 13/20 to beat Ukraine. The French turned in an impressive performance in their 4-1 win over Switzerland to make it three wins from three and should set-up a semi-final with Spain on Wednesday.
