Match Preview
England head into their round of 16 game with Slovakia at Euro 2024 with plenty of questions to answer following three disappointing performances in Germany.
Despite their much-publicised problems, Gareth Southgate’s men still topped Group C with five points following a win over Serbia and draws with Denmark and Slovenia. But that has masked deficiencies in tactics and approach with the Three Lions lacking shape – particularly down the left side – while their press has looked disjointed.
England could have a problem at left-back with Kieran Tripper – himself a back-up for Luke Shaw – struggling to be fit. Ezri Konsa will step in if the Newcastle man is ruled out.
Kobbie Mainoo is expected to come into midfield to replace Conor Gallagher.
Slovakia qualified as one of the best third-placed teams following a win over Belgium, a defeat to Ukraine and a draw with Romania. Captain Milan Skriniar is relishing the chance to take on England, saying: “In my opinion, they rely on individual quality and they know that they have players who can decide matches for them.
“That’s why I think we can handle them through teamwork.
“They have big stars, big players, really good players. But we saw some games also in the group that, as a team, they are not at their best so far. So, this can be our opportunity to beat them.
“There is a lot of pressure on them. That may be an advantage for us, because they really need to convince the world they came here to win. If Slovakia beat England it will be the best result in Slovakia’s history.”
