England vs Slovenia
(Euro Cup) England vs. Slovenia,
Point Spread: 1.00 | 225.00 Slovenia (Home)
Result: Win
They're not happy in London or elsewhere in England after some lethargic displays in the first two matches that have reminded of a disturbing pattern under Gareth Southgate, often featuring quick starts followed by long periods of indifference. Refer to the 2018 World Cup vs. Croatia, 2020 (21) Euros vs. Italy), and both of these matches in Germany vs. the Serbs and Danes. Though Harry Kane did net vs. Denmark, he was mostly anonymous and was even substituted, and England had more trouble than it should have when trying to bring the ball out from the back vs. Denmark. Expect some high pressure from the Slovenians, who haven't looked half-bad in Germany, and if not for a desperation, last-kick corner from the Serbs would be playing for first place in the Group C. Also, Slovenia has a top goalie in Atletico de Madrid's Jan Oblak, with plenty fo big-match experience in Spain and the Champions League, and Leipzig's young star Benjamin Sesko continues to look menacing. Slovenia looks like it can get a result out of this one at Cologne and move into the knockout phase as a potential darkhorse to watch. Play Slovenia on Spread
