Players to Watch

Henrique Araujo (Portugal U21)

Henrique Araujo will be leading the final third for the national under-21 football team once again. Although he did not get a chance to show his skills against France U21, Araujo is a capable player. He has helped his nation’s U21 team during the qualification stage of the Euro U21 by scoring goals.

He will be looking to come up with a similar performance here.

Jakub Kaluzinski (Poland U21)

Jakub Kaluzinski was the sole goal scorer for the Poland national under-21 football team in their last game. He was successful in converting the spot kick, but the Poles lost the game. Kaluzinski is good at controlling the midfield.

Poland U21 will have to come up with a stronghold in the midfield areas if they want to overpower their opponents. He can be the man to ease that job.
