England vs Slovakia Prediction & Betting Tips (30 June)

We will seriously have to think about putting the alarm clock on the English side. Designated as the number 1 candidate for the title before the start of the tournament by observers, this British selection is well below expectations in terms of content, despite its 1st place obtained in its group D which is fairly widely accessible on paper. Victorious against Serbia in the opening, Gareth Southgate's men were then largely manhandled by Denmark 1-1 during a meeting that they could very well have lost. Finally, on Tuesday evening, the Three Lions did not reassure at all by delivering another soporific performance against Slovenia 0-0 during which they once again showed all their difficulties in playing the game. In search of their first international title since 1966, the English do not really seem able to put an end to this shortage for the moment. Now without a net, they must accelerate or risk heading towards immense disillusionment. Stopped in the 1/8 finals in 2016 and in the first round during the last edition, Slovakia therefore allows itself to exit its group by one Euro for the 2nd time since its independence in the 1990s.

This selection created the first real sensation of the tournament by winning against Belgium when it entered the competition 1-0, managing to pick up the big favorite of this competition cold. chicken. On the other hand, in her next match, she missed the opportunity to qualify directly for the 1/8 finals by losing to Ukraine 2-1 even though they were leading at the break. During their 3rd match, the Falcons faced Romania. Quickly ahead in the correct score, they were unable to maintain their advantage and conceded a 1-1 draw sufficient to take 3rd place in their group, tied with all the other teams entered with them. In the qualifiers, they took 2nd place in their group, far behind the untouchable Portugal.

England's favorite status clearly comes from its group which is made up only of world references in almost every position. However, many of the executives on this team are not meeting expectations. This is particularly the case of the sentinel Rice (Arsenal), the disappointing Gallhager (Chelseaà and the offensive executives Saka (Arsenal), Bellingham (Real Madrid), Foden (Manchester City) and Kane (Bayern Munich) who did not at all the same influence in this tournament as with their club The defense is on the other hand a little more coherent, particularly with the young central Guéhi (Crystal Palace) who forms a very good link with Stones (Manchester City). English remains among the best entered in this tournament and the arrival in the knockout phase could encourage overtaking of function Little used so far by Southgate, the promising Gordon (Newcastle) and Palmer (Chelsea) are ready to return. in play at any time against Slovenia, left-back Shaw (Manchester United) should be fit this Sunday. Slovakia has quality players in its ranks like Lobotka (Naples), Haraslin (Sparta Prague) , Schranz (Slavia Prague), Kucka (ex-Milan), Duda (Hellas Verona) and Bozenik who should all feature in Francesco Calzona's starting 11. This should of course also be the case for winger Schranz who found the fault in the Belgian and then Ukrainian defenses during his team's first two matches and who will be particularly one to watch in this match.

Against Slovakia, it was midfielder Duda who scored with a beautiful cross header. The defensive sector is also rather well stocked with the Parisian Skriniar (71 caps), who wears the armband, and with the Feyenoord full-back Hancko (41 caps). Conversely, the young talent Suslov (Hellas Verona) risks once again being relegated to the bench, especially since the coach has not got into the habit of rotating a lot between each meeting. Please note that striker Robert Mak (16 goals in 81 seasons) and defenders Tomic (5 seasons) and Satka (33 years) did not make the trip to Germany, the first being sidelined and the others injured. .
