Let’s face it, England need to win to get through to the knockout stages of the 2010 World Cup Finals. Slovenia? They just need a draw. And that – in a nutshell – is why it’s going to be a tense and nervy match for both sides.
England v Slovenia Tips and Betting Odds
There has been much talk during the week about a change to a 4-5-1 formation with Rooney playing as a lone striker. Whatever the formation, England are going to have to show more incisive passing and a better cutting edge to get past a Slovenia side who will surely be set up to defend.
One thing that is in England’s favour, however, is that Slovenia central defender Marko Suler is out with a rib injury. Not only that, but three other Slovenians, including defenders Cesar and Jokic, are one booking away from suspension. This is sure to make them a little wary of going full-on in the tackle and it is a weakness that England should be able to exploit.
Let’s face it: if the matches against USA and Algeria had never happened, then we would fully expect England to win comfortably here. And that is exactly how England have to play.
I expect a very, very tight first half, with England’s undoubtedly superior ability to finally show through in the second half. I think England will take a narrow win against Slovenia.
