England-Slovenia: A difficult mission for the “Three Lions” who want first place and to… sweeten the impressions!

by

In Toilet water for his 3rd and last matchday third group of Euro 2024 face off on Tuesday night (25/6, 22:00) the England and Slovenia.

The match will be televised by ERT1radioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

At the same time, the curtain on the group will also fall with it Denmark-Serbia.

The score of the 3rd group:

On the one hand, therefore, the “Three Lions” (4b.). Right now Gareth Southgate’s set -which has already secured qualification at “16”- located at 1st place, in which it wishes to remain (the first of the 3rd group plays in the “16” with the third from the 4th, 5th or 6th group). At the same time, of course, he also wants to to… sweeten the impressions after a, at least, mediocre start, especially in terms of appearances. After the victory (0-1) against Serbia, England drew (1-1) with the Denmark. In a game where he found the net early (18′) with Kane. However, she “sat” on her lead, conceded the equalizer (34′ Huelmand) and was never able to respond (in the second half she had a goal with Foden).

It doesn’t stop review to the Federal coach, both for the spectacle and for his selections (among them that he has only taken one left-back in the squad, Shaw, who has also had injury problems, and that he has not used Palmer for a single minute) .

England will finish 1st either if they win or with an ‘X’ if Denmark do not beat Serbia at the same time. If their own match is drawn and Denmark wins, then the 2nd place, which leads above Germany in the “16”, will be judged on the tie criteria. Finally, in case of their own defeat and Denmark’s victory, they will finish 3rd.

On the other hand, “green” Slovenia (2b.) of Cherin, Sporar and Verbich has left clearly better impressions, always in proportion to the dynamics of the two groups. Of course, it comes from a very “bad” result (1-1) against Serbia, based on the progress of the match. This is because even in the 69th minute -against the flow- he took the lead with Karnicnik, in the 90th minute + 5th minute (and while he previously escaped the post) he accepted the equalizer with Jovic’s buzzer beater. It was their second draw in the group, having also started 1-1 against Denmark.

Matias Keck’s team has hopes of qualification. Even through 1st place, which they will take if they win and at the same time Denmark does not act accordingly. If, however, both prevail, the first place will come out of the tie criteria. It can be in the top four (getting the ticket to the next stage) even if it loses, as long as it is not 3-0 or by a margin of four goals or more and, in addition, the Czech Republic and Georgia are defeated in the final of Group 6 . For the latter, obviously, it is required at the same time that Serbia does not leave it behind (1b.).

In the competitive part, now, for England, he is expected to be left out again So, although he returned to training. Something that will probably happen to him as well Trippier due to inconveniences. Significant “trouble” for Slovenia with Sesco, who picked up discomfort from the match against Serbia and is given as a doubt. At the same time, the participation of the Cherin, Oblak and Elsing due to minor problems, if logically they will be able to attend this crucial game for their team.

Possible compositions:

England (Gareth Southgate): Pickford – Walker, Stones, Gueye, Trippier – Gallagher, Rice – Saka, Bellingham, Foden – Kane.

Slovenia (Matiaz Kek): Oblak – Karnicic, Drkusic, Bigol, Janza – Verbic, Cerin, Elsnik, Mlakar – Sporar, Cesko.

The referee of the match will be the Frenchman Clement Turpinwhile VAR his compatriot, Jerome Brizard.
