Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales shared his expectations from the Euro 2024 1/8 finals match between England and Slovakia.
Roberto Morales- As with the other pair on this game day, there is an absolute favorite.
England quietly made it to the playoffs and has been heavily criticized, especially at home, including in terms of personnel. This primarily concerns the supporting midfielders Rice (Arsenal), Gallagher (Chelsea) and attacking leaders Sack (Arsenal), Bellingham (Real Madrid) and Kane (Bayern Munich). By the way, Harry has scored six goals in his last six playoff appearances in major tournaments - two at the last World Cup and four at Euro 2020. On the other hand, the defense looks very solid, with young center back Guechi (Crystal Palace) forming a reliable link with Stones (Manchester City). However, there are still plenty of strong players in the reserves: Gordon (Newcastle), Palmer, Foden (Manchester City).
We remember the Slovaks well, and the victory over them did not help Ukraine get out of the group. The Red and Blues created the first real sensation of the tournament by beating Belgium in the opening match (1-0) thanks to an early goal by Schranz. Francesco Calzona's wards then played a super-comprehensive match. In their third match, the Falcons faced Romania, and a draw was enough for both teams to advance. That's what happened... The bet is England's victory and the total is less than 3.5," Morales is sure.
