Today, the 3rd match of the EURO-2024 playoffs - England - Slovakia match will be held in Helsenkirchen.
Idman.biz reviews the competition history of the teams before the match.
The competition history of these teams is not great. The teams have met 6 times so far. 5 of these matches ended in victory for the British and only one match was drawn. The goal difference is 11-3.
Out of 6 matches, 5 were official matches and 1 was a friendly match. The first match took place in October 2002. In the qualifying match of the European Championship, Slovakia lost at home with the score of 1:2. 8 months later, in the same tournament, the same score was recorded in the match played at the opponent's field. Again, the British were the best side.
The 3rd meeting of the teams was a friendly match in 2009. In that match, the biggest and only big score in the history of this pair was recorded. The British passed 4 unanswered balls through the opponent's goal.
England and Slovakia have met only once in the final stages of major tournaments. In this game, which took place in the group stage of EURO-2016, the gates remained untouched.
The last two matches of the rivals were within the qualifying round of the World Championship. On September 4, 2016, the British won 1:0 away, and one year later, on the same date, they beat their opponent at home with a score of 2:1.
Today the match will start at 20:00.
