With four points, England don't have to worry about qualifying for the next round. But manager Gareth Southgate certainly needs to think further ahead for his championship ambitions.
If England finish second in their group, they will face Germany in the round of 16 and be placed in a semi-final bracket alongside title contenders like Spain and Portugal. Therefore, the "Three Lions" need to do their utmost to maintain their top spot in the group.
England completely dominates in terms of strength and head-to-head record. However, in terms of form, the "Three Lions" are currently in disarray.
Southgate's team became the target of much criticism in the first two matches. Despite being the most expensive team at Euro 2024, England played ineffectively, without spirit, and showed virtually no noteworthy tactics.
Furthermore, manager Southgate has been criticized for his questionable personnel decisions. He fielded Arnold as a central midfielder for two consecutive matches, while leaving a number of stars like Palmer, Gordon, Toney, and Mainoo on the bench.
English football experts have repeatedly called on manager Southgate to change the lineup for this match. It is highly likely that the "Three Lions" will undergo a personnel revolution under immense pressure. The aforementioned reserve players may be given a starting place.
In terms of strength, England could field many different lineups to defeat Slovenia. Despite playing resiliently in their first two matches, Slovenia's chances of progressing were dashed when Serbia scored against them in the final seconds of their second game.
Bookmakers are offering odds of England giving a 1 1/2 (1.5) goal handicap in this match, while the over/under odds are 2 1/2 goals.
