Before the EURO 2024 started, we could see the popular phrase "It's coming home" everywhere online. However, after three poor group phase matches, many pundits don't see Gareth Southgate's England lifting the trophy in a few weeks.
England finished first in their group but with only one win and a 2:1 goal difference. In all three matches, England looked too defensive and passive. Now, England has a great draw for the rest of the tournament, but most of England doesn't believe that the trophy "It's coming home."
Slovakia are one of the most pleasant surprises in the EURO so far. They were in a tough group with Belgium, Ukraine, and Romania but found their way to the knockout phase with four points from three matches. Although Slovakia played much better than expected, it is still hard to imagine having a realistic chance against England's superstars. However, Francesco Calzona's team will try to play defensively and punish any mistake from their next opponent.
England vs Slovakia pick: Under 2.5 goals
England finished the group phase with fewer than 1 xG per game. They finished with all three games with two or fewer goals. On the other hand, Slovakia went under 2.5 goals in two of the previous three matches. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

England team news
England is struggling, but it seems that Luke Shaw could be ready to participate in Sunday's game against Slovakia. We will likely see Kieran Trippier start again as left-back, but it is reported that Shaw, who hasn't played since February, could play in part of the match.
Gareth Southgate mixed up the lineup in the previous game, but we should expect him to revert to the usual XI.

Slovakia team news
Slovakia reached the knockout phase, but the head coach, Francesco Calzona, wasn't fully satisfied. He stated that they wanted to win the group. Also, Calzona added that their aim is to reach the quarterfinal. To do that, Slovakia have to pass England on Sunday, and that will be extremely hard. However, if England produces another mediocre game, everything is possible.
Slovakia doesn't have any injury concerns for the upcoming tie.
