England U21 vs Slovenia U21 preview
It was a successful start for England’s Young Lions as they began the defence of their European Championship title against the Czech Republic.
Lee Carsley’s attacking side claimed a hard-fought and deserved 3-1 victory courtesy of goals from Harvey Elliott, Jonathan Rowe and Charlie Cresswell.
England’s U21s enjoyed 68.4% of possession, fired off 14 efforts at goal and restricted the Czechs to just 12 touches inside their penalty area.
They’ll now look to continue their positive start against Slovenia – who are still looking for their first finals win (D1 L3).
Slovenia started their campaign with a 3-0 loss against Germany, meaning they’ve extended their winless run to five games in all competitions (L2, D3).
However, Slovenia do have recent history on their side.
They’re unbeaten in their last three meetings with England at this level, including a 2-1 win in qualifying for this tournament and a pair of 2-2 draws before that.
Nevertheless, the bookies clearly fancy Carsley’s side to claim a valuable three points having priced them at around 1/4, with Slovenia 11/1 underdogs.
And it’s worth remembering that a victory on Sunday would assure England place in the quarter-finals regardless of their result against Germany in their Group B finale next week.

England U21 vs Slovenia U21 preview betting tips and predictions
Early doors
With the early cobwebs shaken off and squad uncertainty now settled, Lee Carsley’s side should be sharper from the off when they face Slovenia on Sunday.
That could point to a lively first half. Slovenia have shown a clear vulnerability early on, conceding before the break in each of their last four matches. England, by contrast, have struck twice in the first half in two of their last three outings – and look well placed to fly out of the traps.

Goalscorer
We’re backing Ipswich Town’s Omari Hutchinson to find the net against a vulnerable Slovenia side on Sunday.
The 21-year-old was lively in England’s opener against the Czech Republic, registering four shots in just 78 minutes – twice as many as any of his teammates. Only one hit the target, but the intent was clear, and he should benefit from the match sharpness.
Slovenia, meanwhile, have conceded five goals in their last two games.
