Slovakia are one of the oldest teams at Euro 2024 - with an average age of 27.3 (the fourth oldest in the tournament).
Although there are no longer stars like Marek Hamsik or Vladimir Weiss, Slovakia still has many pillars in their 40s including goalkeeper Dubravka, midfielders Kucka, Schranz, defender Pekarik...
Experience is perhaps the only factor Slovakia can rely on when facing England.
On the England team's side, despite not playing well, coach Gareth Southgate and his team are still rated by bookmakers as the number 1 candidate for the championship of the tournament.
There have been signs of instability in the England team after a series of disappointing matches. In front of the media, key players Harry Kane and Declan Rice have continuously responded to public opinion, while coach Southgate has admitted that he is the problem for his team.
Will England rise again? Experts are not very confident. Many major British newspapers such as The Guardian and The Telegraph continue to criticize the home team.
But on the other hand, England have been very solid defensively. The only goal they conceded in the group stage was from a surprising long-range shot by Hjulmand. England's tight play promises to pay dividends in the knockout stages.

The bookie offers England a handicap of 1 1/4 (1.25) goals in this match, and the over/under is 2 1/4 (2.25) goals.
Opta data shows England have a 65% chance of winning in 90 minutes, while Slovakia have just a 14.5% chance.
According to Sportsmole, the most likely scores are England winning 1-0 (12%), drawing 1-1 (11.7%) and England winning 2-0 (9.9%).
Experts believe that England will enter the game cautiously and look for goals thanks to individual moments of brilliance. Slovakia's defense is also not mediocre, as they possess many excellent central defenders such as Skriniar and Hancko.
Expert's choice: Choose Slovakia to receive 1 1/4 goals, the match will have 2 goals or less
Prediction: England win 1-0
