England could never have predicted that England v Slovenia would turn out to be such an important game. To qualify for the next round, England need to win. After two mediocre performances against USA and Algeria, England need to deliver in this game.

According to the England v Slovenia odds, England are the hot favourites to win. They are a very short price to win, but they were also at a short price to beat Algeria, and we all know how that ended up.

Capello has had a lot of criticism this week about his system. So we could see a completely different England team emerge against Slovenia. And this will be music to the ears of people who want to back England, as their performance in the tournament so far has meant their odds for winning this game have drifted quite considerably.

England still look weak at the back, so many are predicting a game with few goals. Back 2.5 goals to get good odds, and back both teams to score. England is likely to adopt a more attack minded strategy in this game so a 2-1 score looks likely and this would be enough to send England through to the knockout stage.
