England vs Slovenia: Euro 2024 Group Stage Prediction Match Details
England and Slovenia are set to face off in a crucial final round of the Group C encounter at Cologne Stadium on Tuesday night.
England Preview & Form
The Three Lions are currently leading Euro 2024 Group C with four points after going undefeated in the first two matches. England began the tournament with a win against Serbia, with Jude Bellingham scoring the lone goal. In the second match, they drew 1-1 against Denmark. Pressure is mounting on the team after their underwhelming performance in the draw, especially since they’ve only won two of their last seven matches in all competitions. Avoiding a loss in this match will automatically secure their spot in the knockout phase. However, they will aim to secure all three points. One major issue for the team is their disjointed attacking performance, having failed to score more than one goal since the start of the tournament. Additionally, Gareth Southgate’s decision to use Alexander-Arnold in midfield has not been successful.
Slovenia Preview & Form
Slovenia has had two consecutive draws since the start of the Euro 2024 tournament. They have been performing solidly, remaining unbeaten in their last eight matches. Slovenia aims to reach their first-ever European Championship knockout stage with a win in this match. Despite being initially considered an underdog in their group, they have proven to be a strong team, having entered the tournament with a six-match unbeaten streak. Matjaz Kek hopes his team can secure their first win of the tournament in this match, but their head-to-head stats show they have never defeated the Three Lions in any of their meetings.
