  • Back 6/1 Bet Builder on Young Lions to get through


England have been excellent so far in the U21 Euros as one of just two sides with a 100 percent record and the only team yet to concede a goal in the entire tournament.

Lee Carsley could even make changes against defending champions Germany in their final game and they still came away with a 2-0 win that sent the old enemy packing.

Portugal lost to Georgia, drew against the Netherlands and sneaked into the knockouts after a last-minute 2-1 win over Belgium.

But three wins in four against England, including a 2-0 win in the group stages of this two years ago, means they'll go into the game confident of upsetting the odds.

Leg 1: England to win

Portugal have only lost a couple of times in the last 18 so this won't be an easy task for the Young Lions, but they've shown they're a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.

Lee Carsley's men have such strength in depth - as they showed against Germany when Harvey Elliott score a beauty while Emile Smith Rowe has scored a couple of goals despite only starting once.

There's some top players in this squad and I'm happy to roll with England winning this one in the 90 minutes at 20/231.87.

Leg 2: Over 4.5 cards

England have picked up six yellow cards so far with Portugal going one better with seven while also adding a red card as well.

There's been eight and nine cards in Portugal's last two matches - with the card out getting greater as the pressure got turned up.

And in ths knockouts it goes up another notch, and this young Portugal side can dish it out just like the senior side - meaning a few cards is assured.

Leg 3: Archer 2+ shots on target

Cameron Archer has only started one game of the three so far, but his production has been such that he could well start ahead of Noni Madueke.

Even if he doesn't he's scored once, got one assist and had six efforts on goal resulting in four on target.

Even if he doesn't start he's got every chance of making a big impact on the game and bag another couple of shots on target.

Back England to beat Portugal, over 4.5 cards & Archer 2+ shots on target @ 6/17.00
