Sunday’s action gets underway at teatime as England go head-to-head with Slovakia.
Gareth Southgate’s men continued to look unconvincing against Slovenia, but as the only side to win a game in Group C, they still qualified first with five points.
Slovakia meanwhile finished third in Group E, where all four teams ended the group stage with four points, having each won, drawn and lost a game. The Slovaks pulled off a famous win over Belgium in their opening game and will be hoping for another upset here to make it to the quarter-finals for the first time as an independent nation.

England vs Slovakia Predicted Lineups
Kobbie Mainoo set to make first competitive start for England
After a group stage of failed midfield experiments, rumours are flying that Kobbie Mainoo will be rewarded for a positive showing in the second half against Slovenia and will start this game alongside Declan Rice. Kieran Trippier is also believed to have aggravated a calf injury he picked up earlier in the season, so the hope is that Luke Shaw will be fit enough to start here. Phil Foden flew home for the birth of his third child but rejoined the squad on Thursday, so should have trained enough to retain his starting spot for this Round of 16 clash, meaning Conor Gallagher and Trippier are the only players who started against Slovenia expected to miss out here.

Just the one change for slovakia
Francesco Calzona has made few changes throughout the group stages, only swapping his strikers, as Robert Bozenik started the first two games but was replaced by David Strelec in the final group game, however, he looks likely to reclaim his place here. Ondrej Duda did come off late against Romania last time out but looks set to be fit to start here, so just the one change is expected for Slovakia.

England vs Slovakia Team Stats
England likely to keep Dubravka busy
England’s opponents have seen their goalkeeper make three or more saves in their last two games at the Euros, and in seven of their last 10 games across the qualifiers and the tournament so far. Slovakia meanwhile have seen Martin Dubravka make three or more saves in all three group stage fixtures, including four saves against both Belgium and Romania. With Slovakia’s goalkeeper to make three saves or more available at 1.73, it looks well worth backing here.

Corners look a good bet for Slovakia
Slovakia notched at least four corners in all three group games, including seven against Belgium, the most difficult team they faced in Group E. They were within two corners of Belgium, drew with Ukraine and had four more corners than Romania in those three games. England allowed four corners against Denmark in their group stage game, and there are several options worth examining here. Backing Slovakia to win the corner battle with a +3 handicap looks like a reasonable choice at 2.10, but the best option for our money is over 2.5 Slovakia corners at 1.57.

England vs Slovakia Shots and Shots on Target Stats
Phil Foden should be good for a shot on target
The Premier League Player of the Season is yet to register a goal or an assist at the Euros, but since failing to have a shot on goal against Serbia, Foden has now had seven shots, with a shot on target in each of England’s last two group games. Foden has hit a shot on target in 11 of his last 13 competitive starts for club and country and looks like a solid pick to do so again here. He can be backed for a shot on target at 1.80.

Lukas Haraslin shots looks like a smart play
Sparta Prague forward Lukas Haraslin has now had a shot on target in all three group games so far and has taken at least two shots in each of the three games Slovakia played in Group E. Haraslin also took at least two shots in each of the five qualifiers he started in, including against Portugal. Haraslin has averaged 2.61 shots per 90 at the Euros and with England allowing 12 shots against both Slovenia and Denmark, backing Haraslin to have two or more shots again at 1.91 looks like a smart play here.

England vs sLOVakia Goals and Assists Stats
Harry Kane the best choice here
Only two England players have so far registered a goal or an assist at the Euros, those being Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, with neither of their goals coming with an assist. Kane looks like the best option here, having taken eight shots, with at least one being on target in all three group stage games. Kane has had a shot on target in nine of his 10 starts across qualifying and the Euros so far, and with so many talented forwards around him, has plenty of opportunities to secure an assist or a goal. Kane can be backed to score or assist at 1.80.

Ivan Schranz the best pick for Slovakia here
Slavia Prague winger Ivan Schranz has had the most goal contributions for his nation at the Euros, scoring twice, a goal in each of their first two games in Group E. The 30-year-old winger did not score at all during the qualifiers, but has taken four shots, three of which were on target. Schranz has also created eight shots from passes at the tournament, so could well be due for an assist too. If Slovakia do score here, it would be no shock to see Ivan Schranz score or assist here. He can be backed to do so at 5.50 here.

enGLAND Cards and Fouls Stats
Kyle Walker a solid choice for a foul here
England’s Kyle Walker sits solidly in the middle of the pack for fouls at this tournament, committing 0.67 per 90 so far. Walker has given up a free kick in each of England’s last two games, and has a tough matchup here, facing off against Lukas Haraslin, who has won more fouls than any other Slovakian player at this tournament, winning 2.17 per 90 so far. Haraslin won four fouls in the game against Belgium and will be used as an outlet for the side, with Ondrej Duda and Stanislav Lobotka feeding him from midfield. Walker can be backed to commit a foul at 1.73 here.

Milan Skriniar offers fantastic value here
The PSG centre back has won more fouls than any other Slovakian player, having been fouled six times in the tournament already. Skriniar has shown his ability to win fouls when pressed into a tight spot and will prefer to keep the ball instead of playing it back to Martin Dubravka, who has struggled with his kicking so far. Skriniar has won fouls in both of his last two starts at the Euros, and in six of his last eight competitive starts for his nation. Kane meanwhile has fouled in two of his three starts at the Euros, and in five of his last six competitive England games. Skriniar can be backed to win a foul at 2.25.

sLOVakia Cards and Fouls Stats
Ivan Schranz a solid choice to commit a foul
Slovakia’s right-winger Ivan Schranz has committed a foul in all three of his Euros starts so far, committing two against Romania and averaging 1.48 per 90. He will be matched up against Luke Shaw, who won a foul in four of his five starts for England at the 2022 World Cup, and Marc Guehi who has won a foul in three of his last four competitive starts for his national side, including both of England’s final two games in Group C. Ivan Schranz can be backed to commit a foul at 1.36.

Mainoo likely to win fouls here
Man United youngster Kobbie Mainoo is expected to start alongside Declan Rice after a positive showing in his 45-minute spell off the bench against Slovenia. The 19-year-old has already won a foul at the Euros, in the second half of the 0-0 draw with Slovenia. Mainoo here will be up against Ondrej Duda and Stanislav Lobotka, who average 2.69 and 0.33 fouls per 90 at the Euros to date. Duda committed at least one foul in all three group games, and in each of his eight starts in qualifying. Across those 11 games, Duda committed two or more fouls nine times. All this combined makes Mainoo to be fouled once or more look like a great choice at 1.30.
