Slovakia U21 v Sweden U21
This is a match where experience should count - both in terms of heritage at this level, and the make-up of the teams which are likely to take the field. Being the first group to play their concluding fixture, there is every chance that either team can still qualify as group winners, and we shall almost certainly be in a position that a draw

In terms of heritage at this level, Sweden are the stand-out side. They qualified from Group 6 above Spain which was a fabulous effort, and this is their eighth appearance in the finals. They are former winners in 2015, and finished 3rd in 2009 (at home) and 4th in Germany 2004, so they like to take this sort of thing seriously. By contrast, Slovakia are only in their 2nd tournament, with their last appearance being back in 2000.
The big reason we like Sweden however is the depth of talent running through their side. Of their starting 11 against Poland, no fewer than seven have already collected full international caps, and that should ensure confidence is high as their come into a game that they not only are expected to win, but also that they need to win. That starting 11 also have 134 U21 caps between them, so know each other very well indeed.
Take Sweden to win this match at 29/20 with Betfair SportsBook is the advice
