England and Slovakia will face each other in the third match of the Round of 16 in Euro 2024 at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on Sunday, June 30 (6 pm CET).

The last Euro’s runners-up had topped Group C while Slovakia finished third in their group. Slovakia started the tournament as an underdog, already caused an upset by beating Belgium and proved that they are not to be taken lightly. The Three Lions though topped the group comfortably, they are far from their best form. The Falcons, on the other hand, have nothing to lose against one of the favourites and will look to cause another upset to proceed further in the tournament.

England vs Slovakia Team News, Injury Update

Gareth Southgate has one of the strongest squads of current time at his disposal. The presence of the youngster-trio of Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka at midfield and with a seasoned Harry Kane leading the attack made a formidable attacking line-up for the English side. With Kyle Walker, John Stones in defence and Declan Rice as defensive midfielder, England also have a boasting defence line-up.

On the other hand, after having excellent performances in the qualifying rounds and the first match of the Euro, they managed to grab only one point from the next two matches. Despite having a squad with comparatively higher average age, they are playing fearless and aggressive football. Two veterans Peter Pekarik and Juraj Kucka are playing key roles for the Falcons so far.

Euro 2024 England vs Slovakia Predicted Playing XI

England: Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Marc Guehi, Kieran Trippier; Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden; Harry Kane

Slovakia: Martin Dubravka; David Hancko, Milan Skriniar, Denis Vavro, Peter Pekarik; Ondrej Duda, Stanislav Lobotka, Juraj Kucka; Lukas Haraslin, Robert Bozenik, Ivan Schranz

Euro 2024 England vs Slovakia Scoreline Prediction: Who will Win?

It is very unlikely that the Falcons will cause another upset against this heavy-weight English squad. Should be an easy victory for the Three Lions if they do justice to their full potential.

England 3:1 Slovakia
