England have won five of their last six matches, with a single defeat to Argentina marking their only stumble in recent weeks. The 2-1 loss in Buenos Aires came between victories over Norway and Mexico, both settled by one-goal margins.

Recent Form

The Three Lions opened this run with a 6-4 win over France - a high-scoring affair that set the tone for an attacking-minded spell. They followed that with the Argentina reversal before regrouping to beat Norway 2-1 and Mexico 3-2, both tight contests that required late composure.

Victories over Congo DR and Panama, 2-1 and 2-0 respectively, rounded out the sequence. The Congo DR match continued England's pattern of narrow wins, while the Panama game was their most convincing performance of the run, offering a clean sheet alongside three goals.

England's record shows a team capable of scoring freely - they have netted 18 goals across six matches - but one that has also conceded regularly. Only the Panama win came without allowing a goal. The defeat to Argentina exposed defensive vulnerabilities, yet the subsequent response against Mexico and Congo DR suggests they can recover from setbacks. Panama's shutout indicates England can tighten at the back when required, though consistency in that area remains a work in progress.
