Head-To-Head Record – England vs Slovakia
History favours England in their upcoming tie against Slovakia. The Three Lions have played these particular opponents six times previously – all but one of those in major international tournaments – winning five and drawing one game. They have never lost to Slovakia.
England
Despite the disappointment they levied on their faithful fans, England still made it to the knockout stages as one of the group winners. The Three Lions were dismal and dour in attack; alternatively, they were steadfast and stubborn in defence, keeping two clean sheets in their three group games. Hereon, they will need to sharpen up in the final third if they wish to progress.
Slovakia
Slovakia caused one of the tournament’s early upsets by defeating high-ranked Belgium in their opening match. Robust at the back, the minnows kept the Red Devils at bay for the entirety of the game, delivering one of the finest performances of matchday one. While they lost their subsequent match against Ukraine, a draw against Romania was enough to help them advance.

Slovakia’s victory over Belgium on matchday one was the biggest upset in Euro history as per FIFA Rankings – until Georgia surpassed it by defeating Portugal.
Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz has scored two goals in the competition, the same as the entire England team.
England vs Slovakia – Key Points
Here are the key points to mind when England and Slovakia meet at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen in the UEFA Euro 2024.
Changes Inbound
In England’s three group games, head coach Gareth Southgate chose to deploy right-footed Kieran Trippier as a makeshift left-back. With Luke Shaw seemingly back in training, Southgate could turn to the Manchester United star to provide some balance to his team and push him straight into the playing eleven. There are also question marks around Phil Foden, who returned home to attend a family matter but is expected back in time for the match – for now.
Attack Woes
England’s attack has been one of the poorest in the tournament, so far. The Three Lions averaged less than ten shots per match in the group stage; on average, three of those shots landed on target per game. Furthermore, the competition favourites scored just twice in the first phase, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane the scorers.
