England vs Slovakia Prediction: The Three Lions ''wake up''

According to the schedule and live broadcast of EURO 2024 today, June 30, there will be 2 matches in the round of 16 of EURO 2024. These are the 3rd and 4th matches of the round of 16 of EURO this year. At 11pm, England will host Slovakia while in the later match at 2am on July 1, Spain will face the team considered the "phenomenon" of the tournament in Germany.

Despite being heavily criticized after their lackluster performances in the group stage, England are still rated much higher than their opponents Slovakia. Therefore, fans are expecting Southgate and his team to win and advance to the quarter-finals of EURO 2024.

In fact, if this were a qualifying match, no one would doubt the Three Lions' ability to win, but in a specific match in the knockout round of EURO, anything can happen. Eight years ago, England were also rated higher than Iceland but eventually had to accept a 1-2 defeat and stopped at the round of 16 of EURO 2016.

Of course, in a tournament where only 8/24 representatives had to leave the game after the group stage, big teams like England, France, the Netherlands or Portugal generally do not need to go all out to easily get tickets to the knockout round. Therefore, the true strength of coach Southgate and his team is still unknown.

According to the British media, coach Southgate is ready to make adjustments to make that happen, such as putting young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo of MU on the field from the start.

Slovakia left a mark in the group stage when they advanced to the most intense group of this year's EURO, having beaten Belgium. Therefore, despite being underestimated, coach Francesco Calzona and his team can still believe in their ability to cause a surprise.

According to statistics, the Three Lions completely dominate Slovakia in terms of head-to-head record (5 wins, 1 draw, no losses) in past meetings. Fans of the English national team hope that this record will continue to be maintained.

The England vs Slovakia match takes place at 11pm on June 30 and will be reported live by VOV.VN. Interested readers are invited to follow.
