Portugal will take on Serbia before Spain play Macedonia in the European U21 Championship on Saturday.

Group B in the U21 Euros is set to get underway as the 2015 finalists Portugal kick off their campaign against Serbia in Bydgoszcz, and a strong Spain side face Macedonia in Gdynia.

Portugal, who lost the 2015 final to Sweden on penalties, will be looking to get off to a strong start against Serbia, who are outsiders to win the competition.

Portugal have been unbeaten since they lost the final, winning 11 and drawing three of their matches. Their squad includes two fully-fledged internationals in Renato Sanches and Joao Cancelo.

After surprisingly failing to qualify for the 2015 tournament, Spain have bounced back in emphatic fashion by scoring 31 goals in qualification with their squad making them one of the favourites to top their group and win the Championships.

Spain’s squad includes a host of well-known names such as Hector Bellerin, Gerard Deulofeu and reported Everton transfer target Sandro Ramirez.
