England vs. Slovenia Prediction on June 25, 2024

Match info

At the men’s 2024 UEFA European Football Championship in Germany, England plays Slovenia in the last Group C match of both. Gareth Southgate’s team just needs to avoid a defeat to go to the knockout stages. For Slovenia, nevertheless, yet, victory is essential. Tuesday, June 25, at 9 p.m., is when the game will start at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.

Meeting statistics

If the “Three Lions” defeat Slovenia on Tuesday night, they’ll win the group. Clean as a whistle. They dominated Serbia in their first game’s first half and won, but what happened with Denmark the last time around was 1-1. Regardless of the outcome, England will go to the knockout stages if Denmark fails to defeat Serbia in the other Group C match.

The current form of England

With four points out of a possible six, England leads Group C despite two rather vague performances at Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate’s team can qualify for the knockout stage with as little as a draw against Slovenia on Tuesday night, but the frightening issue for England supporters is how poor the team’s display and tactics have been thus far in Germany. In the last group match against Slovenia, Southgate will have the opportunity to alter the game plan and play more offensive and open football, but we doubt that he will. Even so, the best betting sites in Slovenia tend to award the role of absolute favorites to the UK-situated side.

Harry Kane, the captain of England, gave his team the lead against Denmark (top scoring his national team with 64 goals in 93 appearances), but England was unable to overcome the Danes and was fortunate to win the game. After yet another lackluster and unpleasant performance, their supporters jeered and booed them at the final whistle, as Denmark appeared to be more focused on winning the match than England and played them off the field. Southgate’s strategy of scoring the first goal and then holding out for victory, known as “play it safe”, worked against Serbia, a weaker team, but it didn’t work against Denmark, who had complete control of the game and ought to have won. In its last six efforts, England has only managed to keep a clean sheet twice.

The current form of Slovenia

The late equalizer by Serbia to take home a share of the spoils upset the Slovenian players and head coach Matjaž Kek. Right-back Žan Karničnik appeared to have given Slovenia the victory with his goal in the 69th minute, but Serbia was able to tie the score at one through a late stoppage-time corner kick. This Slovenian team has all it takes to test England on Tuesday night, but even though striker Benjamin Šeško is one of the most exciting talents in European football right now, it most likely lacks the firepower to pull off a major upset and win the match. In Slovenia’s last six games, in betting terms, both teams have scored. In their last six games, “Zmajčeki“ haven’t allowed more than two goals to be scored against them.

Head-to-head

In its previous five meetings with Slovenia, England has won four and drew one. The two teams’ most recent meeting took place in 2017, with England emerging victorious 1-0.

Match analytics

All things considered, even though this is going to be Slovenia’s do-or-die match, we expect the win of “England & Under 2.5” goals at kwiff, who set odds of 2.90 for this market.
