The European Cup 1/8 finals will be held as scheduled at 00:00 on July 1, England VS Slovakia. England are the old powerhouses of the European Championships. The offensive firepower is stronger than that of Slovakia, the Slovak team has a balanced attack and defense, fast counterattack speed, and a porous backline. I predict a 2-1 win over Slovakia to advance to the quarter-finals.
One. England are good at attacking, attacking better than defending, Slovakia are not very good defensively, so England can score. Slovakia were balanced in attack and defence, but they were quick on the counter-attack and had chances to break down England's goal.
Two. The England team has been on the battlefield for a long time, has a lot of experience in the competition, can be described as a veteran powerhouse, can reasonably distribute the physical strength in the game time, and implement the coach's tactics well. Even in the final moments of the game, it was able to play steadily.
Three. England are ranked third in the world, far above Slovakia's 48th, and the team has a good mental quality and is not prone to fatal mistakes in the tournament.
Four. Judging from the head-to-head records between the two sides, England have a clear advantage, and it will not be easy for Slovakia to beat England.
Five. Judging by the three matches in the group stage, England have gradually improved and played better than Slovakia.
To sum up: England could beat Slovakia 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. Fans, friends, do you agree with my prediction? If you still have a different opinion, please leave a message in the comment area!
