We predict England to win 2-0. Slovakia won just once in their last three matches, and that’s due to their poor attack. England are likely to win this game convincingly, thanks to their solid backline. Both teams don’t score many goals, but the quality in the Three Lions squad is massively clear.
Slovakia’s last three matches ended with under 2.5 goals, including their 1-1 draw against Romania. England’s last three matches ended similarly, so it is relatively normal to expect this encounter to end with less than three goals.
England started their Euro 2024 charge with a tight 1-0 win over Serbia, but their form dropped in their next two games, as both matches ended with under 2.5 goals and draws. Despite their shocking displays, they finish the group stage as the winners of Group C with five points.
Slovakia qualified for the round of 16 as one of the best losers, having finished 3rd in Group E behind Romania and Belgium. They won one, drew one, and lost one of their last three group-stage matches, and they face England as the underdogs.

England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier, Gallagher, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Kane
