England vs Slovakia: key statistics and trends
- England has won only one out of their last four matches.
- Slovakia has lost only once in their last six matches.
England – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Three Lions" arrived in Germany with results in mind. They had a good performance at the 2018 World Cup and the previous Euros, but then experienced a rough patch with a poor showing in the Nations League and an early exit in the World Cup in Qatar. However, Southgate remained in his position, indicating that his pragmatic approach is appreciated by the "employers."
The British are still playing their trademark dull football. They narrowly won against Serbia and were not particularly upset when the Danes equalized. Against Slovenia, they produced a dismal goalless draw.
Slovakia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Repre" showed themselves worthy in last year’s qualifiers against several direct competitors like Bosnia and Iceland. However, they couldn't even secure a point in both matches against the favorite, Portugal.
At the Euro-2004, Calzona's team transformed. They started with a match against the group's giant, Belgium, and managed to beat them. Then they lacklusterly lost 1-2 to Ukraine after initially leading. It was clear that both they and the Romanians needed a draw to guarantee a place in the playoffs, resulting in a 1-1 finish.
