Since their first meeting 12 years ago, England have never lost to Slovakia.

England and Slovakia will face each other in the EURO 2024 round of 16 match at 11pm on June 30.

The Three Lions are a team that is all too familiar with the EURO. They have participated in this tournament 11 times but have never won the championship. On the other side of the battle line, Slovakia has shown that they are not an ordinary opponent when they have participated in the EURO for the third consecutive time since declaring themselves an independent country in 2016.

England and Slovakia have met six times in the past, with the first meeting coming in 2002. Since then, the Three Lions have won five, drawn one and have never lost. During that time, they have scored 11 goals and conceded three.

England have not lost to Slovakia for 22 years.

The only time Slovakia held England to a 0-0 draw was in the group stage of EURO 2016. That was a match in which England had 29 shots, Slovakia had 4, but incredibly neither team managed to hit the other's goal.

Hopefully, that scenario will not be repeated in the upcoming match. England are rated higher with a squad of quality players. However, what they have shown at EURO 2024 so far has not been able to satisfy the audience.

On the contrary, Slovakia, as the underdogs, can enter the match more comfortably without much pressure. The winner of this match will meet Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
