⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 25 June 2024 - 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Rhein Energie Stadion (Cologne)

England face Slovenia in their final Group C match needing to avoid defeat to secure progression to the knockout phase. However, criticism of manager Gareth Southgate has intensified following underwhelming performances in their 1-0 win against Serbia and 1-1 draw with Denmark. England's attacking struggles have been evident, with the team failing to score more than once in five of their last seven matches.

Slovenia, in their first European Championship finals appearance in 24 years, have impressed with two draws, leaving them with a chance of advancing. Their unbeaten run extends to eight matches (W4, D4), including victories over top-ranked teams like the USA and Portugal in 2024.

Recent head-to-head history suggests a low-scoring affair, with just one goal scored in total in the last two encounters between these nations in 2016 and 2017.
