DRT Daily Research Bulletin, March 24, 2021
I will do a review/preview video at DRT Facebook and see you on Telegram throughout the day. In-play stats the key in these International matches. There really isn't much I can do with the research I'm afraid. Rankings, odds are the big gauges. The last World Cup qualifiers were 2017.
UEFA U21 Championships
17:00 - Czech Republic U21 v Italy U21 - 1.75 Italy U21
- Last head to head 2017.
- 4 consecutive wins for Italy U21 in all competitions.
- 4 clean sheets in 5 for Czechs in all competitions.
17:00 - Slovenia U21 v Spain U21 - 1.35 Spain U21
- 3 draws and a win for Slovenia U21 latest.
- 5 consecutive wins for Spain U21, to nil, suggests the latter will be tough to score against, tougher to score 2 goals against.
20:00 - Hungary U21 v Germany U21 - 1.36 Germany U21
- Last head to head 2017.
- Hungary U21 3-3 v Slovenia U21 and 2-0 win v Russia U21 albeit in friendlies. Good recent results but competitively?
- 3 wins and a draw for Germany U21 recently.
20:00 - Romania U21 v Netherlands U21 - 1.75 Netherlands U21
- The Netherlands U21 may have been playing lowly rated sides but won to nil and scored 2-5-7-5 goals before a loss v Portugal U21.
- Nothing much to read in Romania U21's form. On their day, obviously the Dutch are goal machines.
World Cup Qualifying - European Qualifiers

- How the mighty have fallen with Serbia very strong favourites. 0-0 must be in play. Any Ireland lead must be layed (cover 0-1) as they don't seem to have a goal, let alone 2, in them.
