In Group D of the U21 Europa League, France U21 and Italy U21 are going to have a fierce battle. Both teams are considered favorites to win the U21 Europa League and have a good chance to get out of the group. The first round is expected to be a test match, and given that neither team has scored more than 2 goals in their recent meetings, the underdog of 2.5 goals seems to be more stable.

The French team has a good record in the U21 European Cup, with 6 out of the past 10 appearances reaching the quarterfinals, having won the championship and the runner-up spot, and also reaching the last eight in the last tournament, so they are widely favored in this tournament. The young stars in the team are all over the five major leagues in Europe, and the center of the midfield, Kafran Dulin, is the second son of the 1998 World Cup winner Dulin, who is known as "Little Dulin". He was relegated to the captaincy this time, showing a strong determination. Before the match, they participated in the U23 International Tournament and challenged teams two years older, but still succeeded in the quarterfinals, so their form is not to be doubted.
Italy U21 just made it to the final of the U20 World Cup, although they finished second to Uruguay U20, but this time they will face a more challenging U21 tournament. Italy U21 have only missed the U21 Europa League final twice in their history, winning the tournament five times and reaching the last eight in the last tournament. Key players in this year's tournament include midfielder Sindo Donnelly and center midfielder Scarponi. They defeated Serbia U21 and Ukraine U21 in two friendly matches at the beginning of the year, showing their strong strength. Against France U21, they won't expose their strength easily and are not expected to score too many goals.
