Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
England
England didn’t show all their skills in either of the first two games. It wasn’t what many expected to see from this side in this tournament. However, with 4 points they almost 100% will advance to the play-offs anyway. Will England show their best skills in the last game of the group stage? I doubt it. Even if they can, they will keep it to themselves before the knockout stage. After all, Slovenia are pretty inconvenient opponent.
Slovenia
After a quite surprising draw in the match versus Denmark, Slovenia were about to beat Serbia. To be honest, Slovenia deserved to beat Serbia. Yet, they conceded a goal in the very late minutes of the game. Serbia scored using their last opportunity. A moment before that goal Slovenia were in the knockout stage. Now they’re about to be eliminated. It’s going to be hard for them to brace themselves.
England – Slovenia prediction
Slovenia need to win. England haven’t proved they’re really a great team many expect them to be. However, psychologically, I believe, Slovenia can hardly win this game. Maybe they will attack in the very beginning. But if they fail to score, England will have the advantage.
