Match details:

UEFA U-19 Championship
Romania vs Slovenia
City Arena Trnava
24th June 2022
9:00 PM IST

Preview:

With France and Italy winning both their opening contests, this will be deemed as a dead rubber and whoever wins, will avoid a bottom-place finish. Slovakia suffered a crushing blow against France as a leaky defence allowed the might French to put five beyond them. Going by a similar comparison, despite losing out both the games, Romania has so far produced much more organized performances even though victory still eludes them. There was a point in time when it felt that they can end the proceedings on level terms with the Italian giants but eventually would concede again to lose out on the lead.

Recent form:

Romania: LL

Slovenia: LL

Probable starters:

Romania:

Popa; Coubis, Gergely, Danuleasa, Pantea; Pandele, Ciuciulete; Andrei, Ilie, Popescu; Andronache

Slovenia:

Balaz; Micuda, Ujlaky, Luka, Sikula; Halabrin, Oravec; Gazi, Szolgai, Sliacky; Griger

Top picks:

Luca Andronache managed to fine an important strike against Italy even though it would end up in losing cause.

Adam Griger is a highly talked about potential in the youth circuit but somehow given the gentry of opposition that he has faced so far has bogged his skillset.

Captain and vice-captaincy options:

Luca Andronache

Adam Griger

Andrei Pandele

Mate Szolgai
