England Under-21s will face their penultimate Euro Qualifier

UEFA European U21 Championship
Group 9 Qualifier
4pm (BST), Thursday 6 October 2016
Central Stadium, Aktobe

The venue holds 13,500 fans and FC Aktobe are renowned as one of the best-supported clubs in the Kazakhstan Premier League.

And the Three Lions know that a victory over their hosts in that game will be enough to secure top spot in Group 9 and automatic qualification for next summer’s Euro Finals in Poland, with a match to spare.

Earlier this month, Southgate's team took another step towards the Finals with a 6-1 victory over Norway in Colchester where a hat-trick from Marcus Rashford and goals from Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Lewis Baker secured an impressive scoreline.

Our final group match follows a few days after the trip to Kazakhstan and takes place on home soil on Tuesday 11 October, when Bosnia & Herzegovina are the visitors to the Banks’s Stadium in Walsall.
