Player to watch – Benjamin Sesko

If Slovenia are going to make any progress in this tournament, forward Benjamin Sesko will need to play well and he takes great form into the Euros. The 21 year old averaged a goal every 110 minutes in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig this term, scoring in all of his final seven league appearances.

Sesko striking after the break

The talented young forward tended to do most of his damage after the interval in the Bundesliga. 71% of his goals came in the Second Half while both of his Champions League goals also came after the break against Young Boys.
