Portugal U19 Team News
Portugal finished first in Group A with a perfect nine points from three matches. They have been the standout team in the tournament and deservedly reached the final.
They won all four of their matches in the tournament, with their victory against Malta U19 being the only one with a goal difference of less than two. However, that match had no competitive significance for them as they had already secured a spot in the knockout phase and decided to rotate their squad.
In the semifinals, Portugal U19 delivered another outstanding performance, defeating Norway U19 convincingly with a scoreline of 5-0. Portugal U19 has previously won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship three times, and a potential victory against Italy U19 in Malta would make them the third team with the most titles, trailing only Spain and France.
Italy U19 Team News
On the other hand, Italy U19 barely made it to the knockout stage. They were actually tied with Poland U19, but secured the second spot in Group A due to a higher number of goals scored.
The young Azzurri surprised many with their 3-2 victory over the favored Spain U19 in the semifinals. However, apart from that triumph, Italy U19 did not achieve great results in this tournament. Their only victory in the group stage was against the host country, Malta, and they were fortunate to reach the final.
These two teams have already faced each other in the group stage, where Portugal U19 completely outplayed Italy U19, winning convincingly with a score of 5-1. Despite Italy U19 receiving a red card towards the end of the first half at a 1-1 scoreline, Portugal U19 had already demonstrated their superiority before that.
