After their excellent 1-1 draw with England in Chesterfield, the Under-20 National Team are set to face Portugal in another Elite League fixture at the Stadio Benito Stirpe tomorrow (kick-off is scheduled for 15:00 CEST).

Alberto Bollini’s team have played two matches in the tournament so far, beating Poland 2-0 on the road before the game against England last week. Another prestigious test awaits tomorrow, even if the Portuguese have so far struggled in the Elite League following two defeats to Norway (2-1) and Romania (2-1) and a draw against Poland (0-0). Due to the quality of the players who will take to the pitch, a great match awaits.

European Elite League participants: Poland, Italy, Romania, Portugal, Czech Republic, Germany, England, Norway.
