England 2-1 Slovakia - European Championship 2024 Statistical Preview

Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly set to be handed his first competitive start for England here.
Luke Shaw has officially declared himself fit, but it would be a surprise to see him come straight into the starting XI.

Francesco Calzona should be free of any injury concerns ahead of this last 16 clash.

Prediction

England limped over the line in Group C, topping the group despite recording only one victory, after the goalless draw with Slovenia on Tuesday evening.
Gareth Southgate's side, though, have been drawn into the more favourable side of the European Championship's final stage, and should really fancy their chances.
Slovakia, meanwhile, qualified despite finishing third in Group F, in which every team ended the group stage with four points.
These two sides have not faced each other in nearly seven years, and have actually only met six times. England have won five of those meetings, along with one draw.
