England – Slovenia Prediction

England haven’t scored a lot yet, namely 1 goal in each of the games they’ve played. The side has scored a maximum of 1goal in their last 4 European Championship games. Gareth Southgate is likely to be careful again. There’s no sense in playing brightly prior to the Round of 16.

Slovenia are good in their defensive actions. Slovenia have conceded over 1 goal only in 1 out of the last 7 official games. Slovenia are unlikely to score as they don’t have any high-class forwards. England have conceded only 3 goals (in total0 in their last 9 European Championship games.

We’re likely to see two goals scored tops in the upcoming game. Just like it was in all the games played in this group before. England will be careful again. If they take second position, they’re likely to play against Germany in the Round of 16. 

Our prediction is Under 2.5 at 9/10 .
