England’s youngsters have made it to the Final of the FIFA U20 World Cup. They produced a wonderful display in the semi finals to see off Italy in a 3-1 victory, despite having fallen behind very early in the game. The Young Lions dominated the entire second half of the game and Dominic Solanke and Ademola Lookman got themselves on the scoreboard again to fire England through to the Final. This is now the best finish by an England U20 at the World Cup, bettering a third place finish in 1993. There has been a lot of positives from the young squad and manager Paul Simpson has gotten the best out of them. They need one final effort now on Sunday to create some history for themselves.
England have, by and large, been defensively sound and have conceded just the three goals in their six games to reach the final. England U20 to win to nil is a 21/10 punt at bet365. Under 2.5 goals for the final is a price of 4/9 and that’s reasonable considering that neither are going to want to throw anything away at this stage of the day. New Liverpool signing Dominic Solanke who is a 15/8 option at bet365 in the anytime goalscorer market, has four goals in the tournament and is England’s top scorer, while Ademola Lookman is on three goals. Solanke particularly could be in a with a great chance of the golden boot, because he could catch Italy’s Riccardo Orsolini who is top scorer with five so far. England do have the scoring power and they are 8/11 at bet365 to lift the trophy. In the bet365 Correct score market, an England 1-0 is the shortest priced option at 9/2
With Venezuela’s senior side never even having managed to get to the World Cup before, this has become their biggest ever moment as a football nation. But can they pull off an upset? They were really positive in the group stage, opening with a 2-0 win over Germany before thrashing Vanuatu 7-0. Even with qualification secured they beat Mexico 1-0 in their final group game. Their knockout stage campaign has been in stark contrast as they have gone through extra time in each of their knockout stage matches. First, they edged Japan 1-0 after extra time in the round of sixteen, then edged the USA 2-1 after extra time, before going through more extra time to get to a penalty shoot out against the much-fancied Uruguay in the semi finals. Both teams to score in the match at bet365 is a quote of 5/4. That extra work Venezuela have caused themselves should play into England’s favour.
