EURO 2024: England vs Slovenia Live
Preview: England vs Slovenia
England vs Slovenia will take place at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Tuesday at 7:00pm as Slovenia seek a win against the Three Lions to aid them progress into the EURO 2024 knockout stages.
England is under pressure as they head into their final Group C match of Euro 2024 against Slovenia. However, their lackluster performances in the previous two games have drawn criticism towards manager Gareth Southgate. The main concern has been their ineffective attacking play, which has been a consistent issue in their recent matches leading up to the tournament. England has struggled to score more than one goal in their last three international games and has only scored multiple goals in two of their last seven matches.
Despite being two points behind their opponents, the Slovenia team is feeling optimistic after securing two draws that have put them in a good position to advance to the knockout stage in their first European Championship appearance in 24 years. In their last match, they were close to their first tournament win but were denied by a late equalizer from Serbia, maintaining their unbeaten streak of eight matches (4 wins, 4 draws).
Head-to-head
In the last six encounters between England and Slovenia, England have won five times and drawn once. Their most recent match resulted in a 1-0 victory for England.
Prediction
England has let down their supporters with lackluster performances in their first two matches at the 2024 Euro. They must improve and lift team morale after these disappointing showings. It is crucial for England to secure a better position in their group standings to potentially face a weaker opponent in the knockout stage. Despite Slovenia’s achievements in the tournament, it is anticipated that England will bounce back and showcase their true capabilities.
