England U21’s campaign at the European U21 Championship started on a high as they claimed a solid 3-1 victory over the Czech Republic in their opening game. On matchday two in Group B, the Young Lions will meet Slovenia U21. Heading to the match, England U21 are second behind Germany, and Slovenia start the round placed bottom, all based on their opening day results. Read on for our prediction.

Having finished unbeaten in the last edition en route to their third Euro U21 title, it's now been seven consecutive games since England last lost in this competition. However, their run of six straight clean sheets has since been broken. Slovenia U21 will be battling more than just an England side. They’ll also be fighting to stop the Young Lions from extending their dominance in this tournament.

For Slovenia, who lost 3-0 to Germany in the opening round, this game has the must-win feeling, as their closing one against the Czech Republic won’t be easier. While they come in as the underdogs, Slovenia haven't lost to England in three previous meetings.

England -21 - Slovenia -21: Form Analysis

A big chunk of the English players who won the 2023 edition have since transitioned to the senior team. The experienced manager Lee Carsley remains in charge.

England U21 will really do with leadership from the man who led the nation to end a 39-year wait for the U21 title.

Under Carsley, the team has lost only once in the last 13 matches, and that defeat was against France U21, another top nation. One area Carsley will be concerned about is his team’s defence.

England have conceded in each of their four matches now, a total of nine goals.

This will be these nations' fourth meeting; England U21 have never beaten Slovenia U21 before.

In a tournament defined by fine margins, a slow start in the loss to Germany could haunt Slovenia. In terms of the Germans’ superiority, there was really little Slovenia could do.

They easily succumbed to a fifth winless outing and second defeat in three. However, against England, Slovenia U21 are unbeaten and will hope that rubs in.

These two nations have met three times before, two ending in draws and Slovenia winning the latest. Away from their head-to-head numbers, Slovenia have won only once in the last six outings when including friendlies.

They have suffered three defeats in 11 matches and have a run to build on.

Missing players

England -21 & Slovenia -21 Squad Analysis

Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento took the plaudits for a big performance against the Czech Republic in the opening game.

While he had some blame for the goal England conceded, the left-back’s performance was electric, and he capped it all with an assist.

Meanwhile, Harvey Elliot’s experience showed in this game with his overall performance, a goal, and general leadership on the pitch. A member of the 2023 title-winning team, the Liverpool man remains an asset for the team.

Slovenia could be forced to have a new central defensive pairing.

Slovenia will be sweating over the availability of defender Lovro Golic. The 19-year-old from AS Roma was forced off the match against Germany after 83 minutes.

While he had a torrid time against German attackers, even giving away a penalty, Golic got most of his duels right. Relja Obric of Atalanta may be called in to cover should Golic fail to make it back.

Ideally, facing this England side wouldn’t want any sort of gambling, so Zan Jevsenak will surely have a new central defensive partner.

Our England -21 vs Slovenia -21 Prediction

Heading into the current tournament, the England manager called on his players to better their 2023 performance. While they started well by winning, they couldn't keep a clean sheet, having gone through 2023 without conceding.

Well, defensively they’ve been porous at times, failing to keep a clean sheet in four straight matches now. Slovenia will want to make full use of that, coming from a loss and needing a win to keep their campaign alive. They are unbeaten in earlier meetings with England and carry a good scoring run too. Our prediction for England v Slovenia is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
