Kampusbet - Gareth Southgate backs England Under-21s to extend perfect qualifying start despite four key absentees
Agen SbobeT - Gareth Southgate says England Under-21s can extend their perfect start to Euro 2017 qualifying despite his squad being hit hard.
Southgate's
Young Lions take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo on Thursday
looking to maintain their 100 record following wins against Norway and
Kazakhstan.
But they will face the Bosnians without Eric Dier, who has joined up with Roy Hodgson’s senior squad, and the injured trio of Joe Gomez, Nathan Redmond and Jordon Ibe.
They return home to take on Switzerland in Brighton on Monday with Southgate targeting maximum points.
“It’s a good opportunity, because if we can win the two matches we control the group,” said Southgate.
“It will be two difficult tests and we’ve lost a few players but it’s
a good opportunity for us to have a look at some other players, which
is always exciting to see how they perform and how they step up.
“They are two good challenges for different reasons.
Bandar Judi Online SbobeT - “Any
away game is difficult and Bosnia have had poor results in the group
but were much better when they played Switzerland last time, so I’m
expecting a tougher test there.
“And Switzerland are a good side so that will be a really good game of football down at Brighton.
We’re a team in the early stages of growing and discovering itself so we can’t afford to take anything for granted.
“Most of them are new to the environment and they want to show what they can do.
“It’s a challenge as a team and a group but it’s a great opportunity for individuals.
“It’s
a great opportunity for the lads who have gone with the seniors so we
will have to make changes to the starting team but hopefully the work
we’ve done will stand us in good stead.”
Possible team (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Iorfa, Chambers, Browning, Targett; Baker, Ward-Prowse; Watmore, Loftus-Cheek, March; Akpom.
