England face the first obstacle in their way on the road to Berlin when they take on Slovakia in the round-of-16 of the Euro 2024 tournament.

England vs Slovakia Prediction

England limped over the line in Group C, topping the group despite recording only one victory, after the goalless draw with Slovenia on Tuesday evening.

Gareth Southgate's side, though, have been drawn into the more favourable side of the European Championship's final stage, and should really fancy their chances.

Slovakia, meanwhile, qualified despite finishing third in Group F, in which every team ended the group stage with four points.

These two sides have not faced each other in nearly seven years, and have actually only met six times. England have won five of those meetings, along with one draw.

Score prediction: England 1-0 Slovakia

England vs Slovakia Betting Tips

England’s blunt attack has left many in the media scratching their heads. Gareth Southgate has some of the most menacing attackers in world football at his fingertips but has been unable to get them singing from the same hymn sheet. However, the Three Lions should dominate the ball here and chances will be scarce for Slovakia. Despite the criticism, England have defended well. They have the lowest xGA in the tournament with an average of 0.39 per game and have managed to keep two clean sheets.

Slovakia have the fourth lowest xG at Euro 2024 with an average of 0.76. They have managed to overperform that metric by finding the net in their three matches but we are backing that trend to end here.

Tip: Under 0.5 Goals For Slovakia @ 3/4 VBet (1 point)
