England came top of their group, with Slovakia at third place. This rematch sees England as favourites, with Mars (lord 1) as their sole significator: Mercury, who as lord 10 would have been their co-significator, is already spoken for as the dispositor of the Part of Fortune.
Rivals Slovakia have Venus (lord of the 7th house) and Jupiter (lord of the 4th house) as their significators.
As with many contest charts in this tournament, this one is bereft of significant testimonies; this is usually a sign that the status quo will be maintained, and the favourites will win.
However, the sextile from Venus (lord 7) to the Part of Fortune sounds a note of caution: In his book ‘Sports Astrology’ John Frawley notes that only conjunction and opposition aspects from Lords 1 and 7 to the Part of Fortune work with any degree of reliability, so this sextile between Venus and Fortuna is a minor testimony at best. Nevertheless, in an otherwise lacklustre chart, it suggests that England would be unwise to underestimate Slovakia.
