England U21 vs Slovenia U21 Preview and Team News
England U21 Team News
Lee Carsley will aim to mastermind another EUROs success with the England U21s this Summer. England will have an excellent chance in Slovakia and have been one of the best attacking teams at this level.
Their entertaining attacking style of play has resulted in high-scoring clashes, with a total of 14 netted in their March internationals. However, Carsley will look to make the squad more solid in transitions after appearing vulnerable in the 4-2 win over Portugal.

England U21 opened their Euro 2025 campaign against the Czech Republic with a dynamic, possession-based setup that ultimately paid dividends. Carsley deployed a 4‑2‑2‑2 (or fluid 4‑3‑3), emphasizing control through midfield and full‑back penetration. Tino Livramento on the right was outstanding, drifting inside to create overloads, deliver two key crosses, and even assist both first-half goals
James McAtee, operating in a false nine role, linked play effectively, dropping to collect the ball and spark attacks. After early defensive nervousness, the team adapted by pressing higher and maintaining tight mid‑block structure, which Carsley reinforcedm especially with substitutions like Ethan Nwaneri adding energy and helping regain control.
Job done on matchday one.

The shift from cautious buildup to aggressive wing-play and quick transitions allowed England to dominate possession, create clear scoring chances, and respond when Czechia pulled one back.
England U21s will be without influential stars like Liam Delap and Jobe Bellingham due to their commitment to the FIFA Club World Cup. However, the team have a stacked squad, with talented forwards Omari Hutchinson and Ethan Nwaneri expected to play key roles.

England U21 predicted lineup vs Slovenia U21 (4-4-2): Beadle; Livramento, Cresswell, Quansah, Cuffy; Hinshelwood, Hackney, Anderson, Elliott; Nwaneri, Hutchinson
Slovenia U21 Team News
Andrej Razdrh’s men will be massive outsiders in the group to qualify, as they aim to achieve a feat they’ve never previously done. Slovenia have only qualified for the EUROs on one previous occasion.
Slovenia were excellent in the latest qualifying cycle, winning five of their eight matches and scoring an impressive 13 goals. However, they can often be caught out defensively with their high line, reflected by the fact that they conceded seven times in qualification.

Slovenia U21, in the first match of Euro 2025 against Germany, set up in a compact, defensive system from the outset, operating with a disciplined back three/five that focused on limiting Germany’s space through the middle.
Their midfield dropped deep, prioritizing tight lines and stifling passing lanes. Despite these efforts, the team struggled to maintain intensity as the game wore on; Germany’s relentless build-up play and clinical finishing, especially Nick Woltemade’s hat-trick, overpowered Slovenia.
Razdrh will call upon experienced internationals at this level, with midfielders Tio Cipot, Marko Brest, and Enrik Ostrc all playing over ten times with the U21s. Their battle with their English counterparts will likely determine the outcome of this clash.
Slovenia U21 predicted lineup vs England U21
Slovenia U21 predicted lineup vs England U21 (4-3-3) Turk; Milic, Lampreht, Kuzmic, Dapo; Brest, Cipot, Ostrc; Begic, Bosilj, Pecar

Carsley’s side have an impressive knack of turning up when the pressure is on in major tournaments. That will make the nation a major contender this Summer.
Their possession-focused gameplay will ensure they have all of the ball on Sunday. Their creative quality means it’s hard to foresee England not creating at least two clear scoring chances.
The club have been efficient in the final third in recent internationals. Therefore, it’s hard to overlook the prospect of the favourites winning when making an England U21 vs Slovenia U21 prediction.
England U21 vs Slovenia U21 Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 2.75 (22Bet)
The English will be without a proven number nine due to the absence of Delap. Therefore, they’ll probably be more patient in their approach and take fewer risks in a defensive regard.
They could be more controlled in their performances, meaning they’ll kill the game after taking advantage. We could see under 2.5 goals being a popular selection for all England matches throughout the U21 EUROs.
