We can all agree that the English side failed to meet the expectations so far at the EURO. There’s plenty of negative energy around them, and this game could be the crossroads for this generation. Meanwhile, Slovakia enters this clash with high spirits after fulfilling its mission, which is advancing from the group stage.
Before Betting on England vs. Slovakia
No need to explain why English fans aren’t happy following the group stage of the EURO 2024. They expected their team to be a dominant force in Germany, but instead, it turned out to be mediocre. As written in the previous previews, the reason for that is simple – Gareth Southgate.
Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, Europe’s Golden Boot and the top favorite for the Ballon d’Or, are unrecognizable, and that’s all because of wrongfully set tactics that don’t allow England to attack and be relaxed on the offensive end.
The Slovakian squad may not boast numerous high-profile names like England’s, yet they look very decent. Maybe the absence of big-time stars is why their chemistry looks outstanding, with every player giving his best.
This unit has been very good lately, having six wins in the recent ten meetings, with two ties and losses, which is altogether a solid record. Apart from reliable form, there is no pressure on their back, which is a great position to be before a knockout game.
England vs. Slovakia Head to Head
There were six meetings in history between these two countries, and for the moment, Slovakia hadn’t won a single event, with their best result being a tie. It happened at the 2016 EURO, while the other five matches all ended with England’s victory.

Even though many don’t believe in England’s strength anymore, betting on anything but their victory here would be unreasonable. Simply, they might not play well, but all their individual quality should bring them a positive result.
