Under 21 Soccer

Sweden u21 will have the entire home support in their opening group game against a Belarus side who have failed to find the correct form leading up to this tournament. But for Sweden, this will be the first competitive match that they will take part in for many years and it will be a great test for them. As shown yesterday, their Scandinavian neighbours Finland gave England a run for their money and I think Belarus will be pressured for the entire 90minutes today.

Sweden u21 won their last two friendly matches leading up to the tournament and it should be a good morale booster for a side that contains several young and immature youngsters in them.  Belarus have been very inconsistent of late and you would not know which side of them will turn up for this tricky tie.  I will go with the over option here since Sweden's defence are not that good, elaking in goals in 7/10 games. Maybe Sweden will score the opening game but I do believe that Belarus will not cause them any problems.

Pick: Over 2.5 @2.15
