England – Slovakia Predictions and Preview

  • While England fans are dreaming about their team finally reaching the final, some of their recent performances in the group stage have made them question whether they should get too carried away. Despite growing criticism of their coach, Gareth Southgate, after three substandard showings in Group C, England managed to top the group with one win and two draws.
  • The English team has been facing Slovakia in the Euros since the turn of the millennium, and their six previous meetings have shown a clear dominance for England, with a record of five wins and one draw. However, they should be careful not to look too far ahead, as they were eliminated at this very stage in Euro 2016 by Iceland.
  • This time, Slovakia will play the role of underdog and aim to go further in the tournament than ever before as an independent nation. They were already successful in their first game against Belgium, beating a team ranked higher than England 1-0. Now, they are set to face England in Gelsenkirchen, hoping for their first-ever win against the English team.
  • If their previous games are any indication, the Slovaks will need to score one goal to win the game. All three of their Euro 2024 games so far have seen them score exactly once, with all three goals arriving before the half-hour mark.
  • Players to watch: England will hope their captain, Harry Kane, finds his shooting boots when it matters most after scoring in every knockout game leading up to the Euro 2020 final. Slovakia may look to their player Ivan Schranz to get them off to a fast start again, given that his last four international goals served as game openers, including two at this tournament.
  • Hot stat: Only one of the six group stage games involving these two sides witnessed over 2.5 goals.
