Belgium U21 is a very modest national team in terms of historical achievements. For many years, they could not qualify for the final part of the continental championships at all. However, in 2002 they qualified for the first time. So, they have done it three times until now. The best achievement of the Belgians is the bronze medal at Euro 2007. Now they will try to get back among the winners. It will be complicated to do this since they look noticeably more modest against the background of the main favorites.

Netherlands U21 does not always qualify for the European Championships' final part. They experienced their best years in this age category in the first decade of the XXI century, when in 2006 and 2007, they became the winners of the competition twice in a row. They got among the medalists at the last Euro 2021, reaching the semifinals and losing to the Germans - 1:2, winning bronze medals. In qualifying for Euro 2023, they performed very powerfully, scoring 26 out of 30 possible points in ten games with a goal difference of 32:3. 

The Netherlands national team is among the top five competitors for the trophy before the start of the 2023 European Championship U21. The chances of the Belgian national team's success are slightly lower, making them outsiders. By the beginning of the tournament, the players from the Netherlands are better prepared than their opponent since they have not lost in nine consecutive games, having six victories with three draws. Still, Belgium has won only twice in seven previous meetings. 

The Belgian national team has recently been playing very productive football. In the previous five meetings with their participation, 14 goalkeepers took place (2.80 on average per game), which is a very high result. The games were significant in the case of goals since in the last five inter-fights, the Belgians and the Dutch scored 18 goals to each other (3.60 on average per game).
