The previous confrontation between the two teams ended in a draw.

The Portugal national under-21 football team are all set to lock horns with the Netherlands national under-21 football team in the quarter-final fixture of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025. The high-stakes contest between the two sides will take place at the Pod Dubnom Stadium.

The Portugal national under-21 football team topped Group C. They drew against France U21 and secured wins against Georgia U21 and Poland U21. The Portuguese will be looking to continue with their current form, which will surely cause problems for the Dutch. They have faced the Netherlands U21 on multiple occasions previously.

Jong Oranje barely made it to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Euro U21 2025 edition. In their three group stage games, the Netherlands national under-21 football team only managed to win one of their fixtures. The Dutch are surely going to face some issues here because of their current form.
