England and Slovakia clash in the Round of 16 on Sunday.
The pregame narrative: England won Group C but only came away from the round with one victory due to a lack of offensive creativity. I expect much of the same for the Three Lions heading into the Round of 16

England vs. Slovakia prediction
Best Bet: Under 2.5 goals (-143)
English fans were hoping for domination from the Three Lions during group play at Euro 2024. Instead, they got through because of strong defence. Much was left to be desired in the opponent's final third.
Despite going undefeated and winning its group, England could only muster up 7.7 shots per game (17th) and 3.7 on target (16th).
That helps explain why the squad only scored two goals across three group-stage matches.
Attackers Phil Foden, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka have disappointed while lesser-known defender Marc Guehi has stolen the show as arguably England's best player.
It appears manager Gareth Southgate is content with just scraping by these games, as he has kept an almost identical lineup game-to-game despite outcries from English supporters.
On the other side, Slovakia has seen this line cash in two of its three contests.
As much as Slovakia can attack when given the opportunity, England has completed the third-most passes per game (554.7), which makes the low shot total even more confusing.
The Three Lions have shown an unwillingness to take chances, which led to stalemates like the 0-0 draw against Slovenia in the final game of the group stage.
Key stat: This bet has cashed in all three games England have played at Euro 2024.
Pick made at 2:35 p.m. on 06/28/24.
