In Group C of the U21 Euro Cup, the Czech U21 and England U21 are in a fierce battle. Despite the fact that the "Little Three Lions" have finished in the group stage in five of the last six tournaments, this year they have gathered a number of rising stars in the English Premier League, and their overall strength is significantly better than that of their opponents. In addition, England U21 have won all three of their last three meetings and will be looking to get their championship campaign off to a good start on the road, where they will be looking to strike while the iron is hot. (The match will be broadcast live on Now 630 at 00:00 on Friday morning.)

England U21 have won the 1982 and 1984 U21 European Cup twice, with their best result in recent years being a run to the quarter-finals in 2017, but have fallen into a slump since then, with the last two editions of the tournament being knocked out at the group stage, much to the regret of fans.

In the face of adversity, the EFL is determined to field the strongest possible squad for the tournament. In the lineup, Newcastle's Anthony Gordon, Manchester City's Gal Pomma and Chelsea's wing Marduk lead the attacking line, while the midfield is full of stars, including Arsenal's Imran Wee, Liverpool's duo of Javi Hierro and Curtis Jones, and Villa's Jaeger and Lance. With Max Irons and Rauki Thomas holding down the fort in the back line, the front and back three are balanced, showing that they are determined to win this year's title.

In contrast, the Czech U21s have suffered a number of setbacks in their U21 Europa League campaign in recent years, with three group stage exits in the last four tournaments, and one failure to qualify for the final week. With most of their players playing in their home leagues and lacking the skill, quality and experience of the 'Little Three Lions', tonight's match seems destined to end in defeat.
