Euro 2024: Skriniar Confident Of Slovakia Victory Past England

Captain Milan Skriniar believes Slovakia have an opportunity for a major upset in their European Championship last-16 clash against England in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.

England underwhelmed in the pool stages but still topped Group C, while Slovakia finished third in a Group E in which all four teams finished with four points.

Centre-back Skriniar believes while England may have better individuals, Slovakia can counter them with their work as a collective.

"In my opinion, they rely on individual quality and they know that they have players who can decide matches for them," Skriniar told reporters on Friday. "That's why I think we can handle them through teamwork."

Skriniar added the pressure will be squarely on the English, and that has already affected how they have played at the tournament in Germany.
