James McAtee is good at controlling the midfield and can create plays for his fellow teammates in the attacking front. He came up with a good performance for the Young Lions and will be looking to repeat it here.
Dino Kojic (Slovenia U21)
Although Dino Kojic did not perform up to the standards in the last game against Germany U21. He will be looking to step up here.
