The Three Lions topped Group C following a 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday.

They subsequently avoided a last-16 clash with old rivals Germany and will instead face one of five teams.

Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine are locked on three points, meaning they are all in contention.

But Data Analysts Nielsen Gracenote have given Netherlands the best chance of playing Gareth Southgate's side in the knockouts.

There is a 61 per cent chance of England facing Oranje in the last-16, with a 16 per cent probability of coming up against Slovakia.

The chance of Southgate's side clashing with Ukraine is 11 per cent, with eight per cent for Romania and just four per cent for Belgium.

Victory for England in the round-of-16 will set up a quarter-final tie against either Switzerland or Italy.

The Three Lions will then face Austria, Hungary, Romania or Turkey in the semi-finals, which will take place on Tuesday, July 9 or Wednesday, July 10.

France, Spain, Germany and Portugal are all on the other side of the draw.

Speaking after his team's disappointing draw with Slovenia, Southgate said: "I'm not going to back away from it, The most important thing is the supporters stay with the team."

He continued: "I understand the narrative towards me and that's better for the team than it being towards them.

"But it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. I've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar.
