England and Wales national teams face one another in the second round match of European Championship group stage. The match will be played in Lens at Felix Bollard stadium on Thursday, June 16th
England started the tournament with disappointing draws against Russia, 1-1. The Three Lions played well in the first half, tearing defense of Russia apart. However, the second half’s performance was much poor and Dier’s precise shot was the only positive moment for England. Moreover, at the very last minutes of the match England conceded an equalizing goal from Russia, who scored with their second shot on goal. England appeared as one of the favorites before the start of the competition but their first match at the tournament make us question teams’ potential to battle for the trophy in France.

Wales national team, in turn, played poorly in their recent friendlies before the start of the tournament, but started Euro-2016 with 2-1 victory over solid Slovakia, showing quite nice football. Wales leaders Bale and Ramsey recorded one goal and one assist accordingly. Bale send the ball past the keeper from a free kick and Ramsey gave crucial pass to Robson-Kanu, who scored the decider. Chris Coleman’s men proved themselves as a team who can be crucial in front of opponent’s goal and now they can have solid chances to advance for knockout phase.
England and Wales played 10 head-to-heads in their history and nine of these matches ended with wins of the Three Lions while another match was a tie. England are still hoping for successful result in France and they should leave to chances to Wales in upcoming derby. Hodgson’s men need to learn their lesson after disappointing draw with Russia and should record another win over the neighbors.
Prediction for the match: England to win.
