Betting Predictions
Group C champions In the round of 16 of Euro 2024, England will play Slovakia. Despite winning their group, England’s three games were mainly underwhelming; they created few clear-cut opportunities and lacked confidence. They will have to significantly improve to earn the right to be called pre-tournament favorites.
After earning four points in Group E, Slovakia advanced to the knockout stages as one of the top third-place teams. They have only won one, against Belgium on the first day of the tournament, but they have performed admirably in all three of their games and will be optimistic about upsetting the odds on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
Slovakia is a team that the Three Lions have never lost to, however, the one big tournament matchup they lost was at Euro 2016. England has defeated Slovakia in their last two encounters, winning 1-0 the first time around and 2-1 the second time around. Having won five of their six meetings with Slovakia, England tends to have the upper hand.
Team News
The main uncertainty for England is whether Phil Foden will return in time to train and be prepared to play after the birth of his third child. As one of the better players against Slovenia, the Manchester City midfielder won’t likely need much time to come up to speed, so Southgate will give him every opportunity.
With Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer among the players for whom there is mounting demand, Foden’s absence may result in the left winger Anthony Gordon being introduced. Due to his lackluster performance on his debut on Tuesday, Conor Gallagher might be benched soon in favor of Mainoo. Luke Shaw will keep trying to get fit, but he hasn’t played since mid-February, so if he’s considered healthy enough, Southgate might choose to use this as his comeback game from the bench.
Probable Line-Up
England XI:
Pickford (GK), Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier, Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Kane
Slovakia XI:
Dubravka (GK), Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko, Kucka, Lobotka, Duda, Schranz, Haraslin, Strelec
Verdict
Tip: England to Win❌
Reason
Although we believe England will advance to the quarterfinals, they are heavy favorites in this match, so we wouldn’t be shocked if extra time or even penalties were used. Slovakia is a resolute team that can be challenging to defeat. Their impressive 1-0 triumph over Belgium on Gameday One served as a prime example of this. They might frustrate an England team that has found it difficult to generate attacking ideas thus far in the tournament if they stick to their anticipated similar approach.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
Southgate, for better or ill, is a circumspect manager. He’s not the kind to throw away the playbook in the middle of a match. Therefore, both Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon will probably have to settle for supporting roles again, even if there is a lot of demand for them. In the past, England has prioritized safety over all else during tournaments; whether on purpose or not, that may need to happen again this summer. Out of the six-group stage matches between one of these two sides, just one had more than 2.5 goals.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
