ENG: England's last two games ended in a tie
SVK: Slovakia have scored three goals in the tournament
The Three Lions are going to need multiple players to step up for them in this pivotal matchup. They may be looking at different players to deliver and midfielder Declan Rice could be someone that's depended on. During the 2023-24 English Premier League season for Arsenal , Rice finished with seven goals and eight assists.
Defender Kieran Trippier is a tactical player on the back line for England. Trippier has been an active presence disturbing advances from opposing teams while being a precise passer on the counterattack. In the 2023-24 English Premier League for Newcastle, the 33-year-old had one goal and 10 assists. See which team to pick here .
Why you should back Slovakia
This is just the third time that Slovakia have qualified for the Euro in its history. In 2016, they made it to the Round of 16 but in 2020 they didn't make it past the group stage. Heading into the tourney, the Slovaks only dropped one game in their last seven outings. Meanwhile, in the group stage, they went 1-1-1. They are going to need more of an offensive push, logging three goals in three games.
Forward Ivan Schranz has been impressive thus far in the Euros. Schranz has done a sound job creating high-percentage scoring chances around the net and he's capitalized. In three group-stage games, the 30-year-old had a team-best two goals on three shots. Midfielder Ondrej Duda can be another weapon, scoring two goals in three Euro tournaments for Slovaks.
