Israel U21 will take on England U21 at Adjarabet Arena in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship semi-finals on Wednesday.
Israel emerged victorious from a thrilling quarter-final against Georgia that went to extra time after a goalless draw after 90 minutes. They won 4:3 in the subsequent penalty shootout. Israel’s erratic forwards missed several good chances to score, which is becoming more and more of a problem for the team.
The Skyblue and Whites are yet to win the UEFA Euro Under-21s, but their breakthrough progress this campaign has fueled boundless optimism. They will reach the semi-finals for the first time, with their best result to date being a place in the group stage. However, the two-time champions of England could be a tough nut to crack.
England have been flawless so far, winning all their matches. They saw off Portugal’s challenge in the quarter-finals thanks to Anthony Gordon’s only strike. England are hoping to end a decades-long trophy drought in the Championship. Their last success dates back to 1984 – two years after their first title.
The Young Lions will take confidence from their previous performance against Israel as they head into the clash. The two teams faced each other in Group C, with England winning 2-0 when they met on match day two. Israel will be looking for revenge and a place in the finals – if possible.
