The France Under-21 team are set to face the Norway Under-21 team in their Group C match, where they will have a chance to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Under-21 tournament. years of Euro 2023. While France emerged victorious against Italy in their previous match, a defeat in this upcoming game would create an opening in the group, allowing Norway to advance, especially given of Norway’s loss to Switzerland after initially leading the game.
France narrowly beat Italy 2-1, with Italy feeling unlucky as they had a strong case for a goal and a penalty disallowed. Despite the happy win, title rivals France are not worried as they had an ideal start to the tournament. The French coach, Ripoll, is aiming for first place in the group and a probable qualification in the quarter-finals. However, France need to stay focused due to their inconsistent results over the past year.
Norway, who held France to a 1-1 draw in their previous encounter, are gaining confidence with their performance. However, since qualifying for the tournament, Norway have struggled to impress, with just one victory in nine months, albeit a convincing 4-0 win over the Czech Republic.
Although Norway took an early lead against Switzerland, they ultimately suffered a loss. With matches against France and Italy remaining, Norway face an uphill battle to reach the quarter-finals, similar to their 2013 semi-final. Underdog status may work in their favor then that they try to keep the group open before the last round of meetings.
