England U21 vs Slovenia U21 Prediction and Betting Tips | June 15th 2025
England U21 will face Slovenia U21 at the Stadion pod Zoborom on Sunday in the second group-stage game of their 2025 U21 European Championship campaign. The Young Lions enjoyed a winning start to their continental campaign and now sit second in Group B with three points as they begin their quest for back-to-back continental glory.
They beat the Czech Republic U21 3-1 in their group opener on Thursday, with strikes from Liverpool's Harvey Elliot and Olympique Marseille's Jonathan Rowe handing England a two-goal lead early in the second half before Charlie Cresswell sealed the points with a towering header later in the game.
Slovenia, meanwhile, marked their return to the continental showpiece with a 3-0 defeat to Germany in their opening game and had good chances to get on the scoresheet, particularly in the first half, but failed to convert.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in their group with zero points and will be eliminated from the tournament with a loss on Sunday, should Germany avoid defeat elsewhere in Group B.

England U21 vs Slovenia U21 Prediction
England will head into the weekend clash on the back of consecutive victories and will be looking to add a third on Sunday. They are overwhelming favorites for this one, having won three U21 Euro titles, including the most recent edition of the continental showpiece.
Slovenia, meanwhile, are featuring in just their second-ever Euros and failed to win any games in their first. The sheer gulf in class, experience and overall quality between the two teams could see them lose here.
