England looked to have won Group C without a fight. Despite remaining unbeaten, the Three Lions have only managed one win, against Serbia in their first match two weeks ago. England scored just two goals in the opening period, including a goalless draw with Slovenia on Matchday 3 on Tuesday. If England are to go far in the tournament again, they will need to find a way to drive the attack.
The Three Lions reached the quarter-finals of three of the last five European Championships.
In a very wild Group E, Slovakia were one of three teams to finish with four points. However, because they ended up with an even goal difference, the Slovaks ended up in third place behind Belgium and Romania. What finally got Sokoli into the round of 16 for the first time in eight years was their surprise victory over Belgium in the opening game of the tournament.
As an independent nation, Slovakia has never reached the quarter-finals of a European Championship. The former Czechoslovakia won the tournament in 1976, finishing third twice.
England are 5-1-0 against Slovakia, with the two teams playing out a goalless draw in the group stages of Euro 2016.
