CHILE - SWITZERLAND
This is the first the from the 4 team tournament in Austria, the other two nations are Japan and Austria. I don't have the squads but Switzerland are far the better team with the better players. The team is well-conditioned (just look at their recent results). They have a very strong defence (which i think is the key factor in their success). I expect a clear win for Switzerland.
Pick: Away win and Chile not to score
NORWAY (U21) - HOLLAND (U21)
Holland have one of the best U21 teams in the moment(they won the last european U21 championship).I've watched the Norwegians last game whey they lost 2-0 from Denmark in a friendly game, and their last qualification against Estonia when they get the 3 points with a 90th minue goal. The Norwegians will be playing strong and defencive football as the senior national team, but i think that Holland have the quality to outplay them.
My pick: Away win
ITALY (U21) - FAROE ISLANDS (U21)
In my opinion Italy have the strongest U21 team in the world at the moment simply because the are the best tactitians, in contrast of the other U21 teams (i'm sure that they can outplay a senior team).
My local bookie is offering a -2,5 AH, which i advise you to take
BELGIUM (U21) - AUSTRIA (U21)
Belgium played in the last U-21 championship .In the qualification round they eliminate Bulgaria (the country where i'm from) and i watched the 2 games, they are playing good fast football. I don't know much about Austria U21, but i think they will playing the same kind of football as the senior squad. Home crowd will also be in help for Belgium.
So my pick here is: Home win
