This is an extremely important game for both sides, as evidenced by the current standings in the table:

England, as you can see from these odds, is the clear favourite on Monday:

Slovakia, 5.50

England is coming off of a thrilling victory against Wales in their last match, while Slovakia turned in a masterful performance against Russia. Both teams are enjoying an upswing in momentum heading into this match.

England will be looking to throw their multi-headed offensive monster at Slovakia on Monday - a monster that includes Daniel Sturridge, Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney. These four men give England an offensive attack that can stand against any other team in the tournament, though their defense leaves something to be desired.
