England vs Slovenia Preview

England

England have already played 2 games in the group stage. In the first game, they beat Serbia 1-0 while they drew with Denmark (1-1) in the second round.

Their second match against the Danes deserved nothing more than criticism. Despite leading, the Three Lions left a poor impression. They were lacklustre and did not create any real chances, which was unexpected from one of the main favorites of the tournament.

In addition, plenty of pundits questioned Southgate’s decision to substitute Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka. It seemed the English coach was content with a draw.

While England has already qualified, they will be determined to claim first place. However, fans expect a victory against Slovenia. 

Recent Form	DWLWD
Key Players to Watch	Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Phil Foden
Team Strengths	Good defence, quality attackers.
Team Weaknesses	Difficulty to rearrange the tactics during the game.

Slovenia

Slovenia qualified for the Euros for the first time in 24 years and is showing a pretty good performance at the tournament. Both of their matches ended in a 1-1 draw. They were just a step away from winning against Serbia, but the last-minute header from Luka Jović shattered their dreams. 

Considering that Slovenia have nowhere to retreat, they will go forward. But, unfortunately for them, their opponents are the vice-champions of the last European Championship. Looking at how things are going in other groups, even a draw could be sufficient for Slovenia to qualify for the next round. They have already proved to be a strong side with a well-built defence and midfield.

Key Players to Watch	Benjamin Šeško, Jan Oblak, Andraž Šporar

Team Weaknesses	Lack of concentration.

England vs Slovenia Head-to-Head Statistics

The teams have faced each other six times, with England emerging victorious in five of those meetings and one match ending in a draw.

The teams also played each other in the qualification for EURO 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. Additionally, they met at the 2010 World Cup, where England defeated Slovenia 1-0. Therefore, Slovenia have an ideal chance to grab the first victory over England in official tournaments and break this unsuccessful streak.

England vs Slovenia Player Focus

In England, first, we can point out Jordan Pickford. The Everton keeper is doing well and he connects with his teammates effectively, sending long balls to the flanks. 

Jude Bellingham may not be playing at the level we are used to from him, but the Real Madrid midfielder has already scored a goal in the first match. Even without producing more goals, he commands constant attention from two defenders.

Harry Kane, the captain and forward, also scored his first goal of the tournament against Denmark. Besides his attacking prowess, he frequently comes back to the defence, picking up the ball and drawing fouls from opponents.

For Slovenia, Jan Oblak is one of the squad’s key players. He is deservedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and against Serbia and Denmark, he demonstrated his qualities. His form will be crucial against England.

We should also highlight Slovenia’s entire defensive line. Both goals scored in the tournament came from flank defenders: Erik Janža and Žan Karničnik. Jaka Bijol also performed consistently, winning aerial duels and maintaining a pass accuracy of 90%.

As for the attackers, Benjamin Šeško is the team’s ultimate forward. While he has yet to score, he creates space for his teammates and engages in physical battles.

England vs Slovenia Tactical Analysis

England will likely continue with their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring two wingers and Harry Kane as the sole forward. Although this style did not work well in the past two matches, Southgate is expected to stick to his strategy.

Slovenia’s 4-4-2 formation has become a standard for the team, utilizing two forwards. Both Šeško and Sporar will engage in aerial duels and aim to trouble the English centre backs. 

England vs Slovenia Prediction

• Football pick: England to Win
• Odds: 1.34 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: England 2-0 Slovenia

England have left an unconvincing impression on EURO 2024 but still secured entry to the playoffs. After the unfortunate loss of points in the battle against the Danes, we should expect a completely different England.

The Slovenian national team started the tournament with two draws in a row, but getting points in the upcoming game will be problematic. 

In their last six H2H matches, they have only managed one draw and suffered five defeats. We think that even with a subpar performance, England will bounce back and achieve victory in this match. They have a superior side with better individuals and tremendous attackers. 

England vs Slovenia Betting Tip

• Football Pick: Slovenia Individual Total Under 0.5
• Odds: 1.77 (22Bet)

England must finally prove itself in attack in the upcoming clash. Before the playoffs, the offense needs to find its rhythm and be convincing, even if a high-scoring match is not expected.

Gareth Southgate is not famous for his attacking football and aggressive style. Therefore, England will be accurate in the defence and try to maintain the handicap as well as possible. 

Moreover, the Three Lions have kept clean sheets in their last two head-to-head matches against Slovenia. Considering this, our EURO 2024 betting tip is that we will see an individual total for the Slovenian national team of less than 0.5 goals. Against England’s tall and physical defenders, Slovenia will find it challenging to hit the net.
