With 4 points, England do not have to worry about advancing. But coach Gareth Southgate must definitely think further for his championship ambition.
If they finish second in the group, England will have to face Germany in the round of 16, and will be in a semi-final bracket with championship candidates such as Spain, Portugal, etc. Therefore, the "Three Lions" need to do their best to maintain their top position in the group.
England completely dominates in terms of strength and head-to-head record. But in terms of form, the "Three Lions" are in turmoil.
Coach Southgate and his team have been the team that has received the most criticism in the first two matches. Despite being the most expensive team at Euro 2024, England played deadlocked, soulless, with almost no notable performances.
In addition, coach Southgate was also criticized for his confusing personnel decisions. He placed Arnold in central midfield for two consecutive matches, while keeping a series of stars such as Palmer, Gordon, Toney, Mainoo on the bench.
English football experts have repeatedly called on coach Southgate to change his squad for this match. It is likely that the "Three Lions" will have a personnel revolution when under great pressure. The above-mentioned reserve players may be able to start.
In terms of strength, England can use many different formations to defeat Slovenia. Despite playing resiliently in the first two matches, Slovenia's chances of progressing ran out when they were scored by Serbia in the last second of the second match.
Bookmakers give England a handicap of 1 1/2 (1.5) goals in this match, and the over/under bet is 2 1/2 goals.
