Chasing a direct pass to the EURO Under-19 in Northern Ireland is set to be a challenging journey. However, hosting Group 6 will give the Young Blazers a boost of confidence and encouragement. This will allow all three crucial qualifying matches to take place in the presence of their passionate fans, which should serve as a significant advantage for them.

Despite a less than promising impression left by the Croatia U19s squad ahead of their crucial trio of matches, due to their defeats in February friendlies against Saudi Arabia U19 (1-2) and Greece U19 (0-2), it’s possible that this was simply a strategic move by head coach Sinisa Orescanin. His aim may have been to mislead opponents and keep the true strengths of his national team under wraps.

After dominating the initial stage of these qualifiers and scoring seven out of nine possible points against underdog teams like Armenia U19, Faroe Islands U19, and Israel U19, the Balkan youth team will strive to make up for their disappointing performance in last year’s second phase (D1, L2 &— GD: 2-6). They hope to secure a much-anticipated spot in the final tournament for their devoted fans, their first since 2016.

Croatia’s U19s, who are about to start their opening qualification test against Germany, the six-time winners of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, should not be afraid. It’s important to note that Germany’s last win was in 2014. The Croatian team has previously demonstrated courage against the young German team, known as Die Mannschaft. They held them to an exciting 2-2 draw in 2008 and only suffered a last-minute 1-2 defeat in 2019.

Even though the Young Blazers are playing on their home turf, their losing streak against the Germans could potentially continue. Christian Worns’ team appears unstoppable as they approach the beginning of the second round of EURO 2024 qualifiers, having won six of their last seven games in both competitive and non-competitive matches.

The frontline firepower of Germany U19s has been nothing short of brilliant, particularly in the opening stage of the EURO qualifiers, amassing an impressive tally of 12 goals from three outings at that level, instilling in us a firm belief that their attacking flair will once again come to the fore, having struck Croatia’s net at least twice in each of their last three meetings. Hopefully, Orescanin’s talented lads can deliver a powerful response on the pitch, promising an entertaining showdown filled with plenty of goal-scoring action.
