Preview
Conjuring memories of last summer’s senior team flop at the Euros, England face Slovakia at 5pm on Sky Sports 1, realistically needing all 3 points if they are to progress to the knockouts. As is the English way, an encouraging qualifying campaign led to a swift comedown in the opening game of a major tournament, with Aidy Boothroyd’s side stumbling through a meek 0-0 draw with Sweden. If it wasn’t for Jordan Pickford things could have been much worse, the most expensive British goalkeeper ever (following Everton’s £30 million summer splurge) saving an 81st minute penalty from Linus Wahlqvist. And lest you think the Young Lions did well to get a point off the defending champions, Sweden now have a meagre Outright Index spread of 4-6 compared to England’s 15-18 (for a bit more context Spain are favourites with a spread of 44-47). Meanwhile Slovakia managed to upset hosts Poland despite being a goal down within the opening minute. Mid-way through the first half Martin Valjent equalised, before Pavel Safranko, who has a Super Mega PGM of 12-16, came off the bench to give Slovakia the winner 12 minutes before the final whistle. That’s allowed the Eastern European side to nudge ahead of England on the Outright Index, now sitting at 18-21. Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham didn’t really get a look in against Sweden, but heads to the Kolporter Arena at a Super Mega PGM of 39-45. Just behind him is Fulham’s Cauley Woodrow at 28-34, while more established stars Nathan Redmond and James Ward-Prowse are at 17-21 and 16-20 respectively. With Gareth Southgate having been at training this week there is extra incentive – not that it should be needed – for England’s youngster to try and stand out this evening. They’ll likely get plenty of opportunity, Spreadex offering an England U21/Slovakia U21 Goal Supremacy spread of 0.75-0.95 alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.65-2.85.
