Gelsenkirchen for round of 16 game between Slovakia and England.
England won group C with 1 win and 2 draws but in truth were far from impressive. Solid defensively its true but with a huge roster of quality attackers they have found no cohesion at all. They beat Serbia 1-0 then drew with Denmark and Slovenia. Slovakia qualified as one of the best 3rd place teams with 4 points. They beat Belgium 1-0, drew 1-1 with Romania and lost 2-1 to Ukraine.
Team news: England lose LB Kieren Trippier while Declan Rice is a doubt. Luke Shaw is rated as fit but may not be risked. Slovakia have no injury or suspension worries.
Head-to-head statistics: 6 games 5 wins England and 1 draw.
Betting selection – Slovakia think they are able to contain England but I am not sure at all. Odds are short an England win though. I don’t see Slovakia breeching England so take England win to nil at 11-10 or 2.10 bet365.
