England U21 will face Israel U21 at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium for the second round of the group games of the 2023 U21 European Championship on Sunday evening. The Young Lions opened their continental campaign on a positive note, beating the Czech Republic U21 2-0 at the Batumi Arena on Thursday. Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey opened the scoring early after the restart before Emile Smith Rowe came off the bench to double the advantage late in the game. Meanwhile, Israel held on for a 1-1 draw against Germany in their group opener on Thursday. Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz denied the Germans an early lead from the spot and then denied them a late winner with another penalty save as the Israeli team held on for a point. The Israeli young team have picked up one point so far and will be looking to pick up their first win this weekend. England sit atop their group with three points from the available three. They can seal a spot in the knockout stages with maximum points on Sunday and will be looking to do just that. For this encounter, I am expecting a win for England by some margin for the following reasons:

Firstly. After suffering back-to-back group stage exits at the U21 European Championships, England will be hoping to all but book their place in the quarter-finals by beating Israel on Sunday evening. Having won eight of their 10 games in qualifying for this tournament and dropping just five points, England have carried that form into this tournament and made light work of opponents Czech Republic in their opening game. England have the squad depth and strength to easily topple Israel, and I do not expect anything but that to happen.

Secondly. Israel will be feeling confident following their fine draw with Germany, but this is an English side packed with emerging talent, and it is hard to see beyond a victory for the English team. The Israeli team have not been impressive in their recent matches. It would be a massive surprise if the English were to slip up against an Israeli side that have only managed to win two of their 12 most recent U21 contests. Those wins came against minnows, San Marino and Georgia. Scoring just four goals in their last seven, Israel have now failed to win any of their last five fixtures.

England U21 are overwhelming favorites for Sunday's game and they will head into the match with confidence. Scoring at least two goals in each of their previous 11 victories, I expect England to get the job done by getting the win by at least two-goal margin.

20日晚，2023年U21欧洲杯小组赛第二轮比赛将在拉马兹圣格利亚体育场举行，英格兰U21队将与以色列U21队展开对决。周四，年轻的狮子队在巴统球场以2-0击败捷克U21队，以积极的姿态开启了他们的大陆之旅。阿斯顿维拉的雅各布·拉姆塞在比赛开始后就率先进球，随后替补出场的埃米尔·史密斯·罗在比赛后期将优势扩大了一倍。与此同时，以色列在周四的小组赛首战中1-1战平德国。门将丹尼尔·佩雷茨(Daniel Peretz)一开始就阻止了德国队的领先，随后又用点球扑救阻止了德国队最后时刻的制胜机会，最终以色列队保住了一分。到目前为止，这支年轻的以色列车队已经拿到了一分，他们将在本周末拿到他们的第一场胜利。英格兰队以三分的优势排名小组第一。他们可以在周日的比赛中以最高分锁定淘汰赛的席位，他们也会努力做到这一点。对于这场比赛，我预计英格兰队将以一定优势获胜，原因如下:

首先。在U21欧洲杯小组赛中接连出局后，英格兰队希望在周日晚上击败以色列队，晋级四分之一决赛。英格兰队在本届世界杯预选赛的10场比赛中赢了8场，只丢了5分，他们将这种状态带入了本届世界杯，并在首场比赛中轻松击败了对手捷克队。英格兰队的阵容深度和实力足以轻松击败以色列队，我不希望发生任何事情。

其次。以色列在与德国的平局后会感到自信，但这是一支充满了新兴人才的英格兰球队，很难看到英格兰队的胜利。以色列队在最近的比赛中表现不佳。如果英格兰队在最近12场U21比赛中只赢了两场的以色列队面前失手，那将是一个巨大的惊喜。这些胜利来自小鱼队、圣马力诺队和格鲁吉亚队。以色列在最近7场比赛中只进了4球，在最近5场比赛中一场也没赢。

英格兰U21是周日比赛的最大热门，他们将充满信心地进入比赛。在之前的11场胜利中，英格兰队每场都至少进2球，我希望英格兰队能以至少2球的优势获胜。
