Poland U21 v England U21

England are top of the group, but they know that anything less than 100% concentration against the hosts could quickly lead to their elimination from this tournament. Having drawn a blank with Sweden in the opening match, they had to come from behind to beat Slovakia, and will surely be more focused on transforming their chances into goals in this one.

We reckon that should be how this plays out, with Poland a good deal less experienced at this level than England. Prior to winning the right to host this event, Poland had failed to qualify for the previous 11 renewals, and have won just one match in the finals since they began back in 1978. So if England are to win (and they are just 8/13 to do so), who will be the man to get them going? Lewis Baker is our pick, at a tasty 29/10 to score a goal at any point in the match. Baker is one of the most experienced players in the England squad, despite being a relative unknown to many English fans - having spent the past two seasons on loan at Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem. He’s scored an impressive 15 goals in 64 appearances over there, and was also a regular goalscorer for England U19’s with nine in 14 appearances. With sevan already in 14 starts for the U21’s, there is no reason at all for him to be close to 3/1 to score in this one, and we’ll place our trust in him delivering the Three Lions into the semi-finals.
