Slovakia vs Romania Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024

After two matchdays over, all four nations in Group E have exactly three points each.

Group E at the 2024 European championship has not been short of any drama and suspense. For the first time in the history of the Euros, all four teams of a single group are level on points going into the final matchday. Slovakia began their campaign with the tournament’s first upset against Belgium before being handed a defeat by Ukraine last week.

Next up, they will be up against table toppers Romania who sit at the top of Group E with just a one-goal advantage. Romania defeated Ukraine in the curtain raiser before succumbing to pressure against Belgium in their second game. Both teams need to avoid a defeat to be in contention for a place in the knockouts.

Form

Slovakia (in all competitions): L-W-W-W-D

Players to watch 

Ivan Schranz (Slovakia)

The Slavia Praha forward is enjoying a good run of form so far at the European championship. He has scored in both of Slovakia’s opening games and is also the joint-highest goalscorer at the tournament with two goals to his name. The 30-year-old is a goal machine and will be keen to score for a third consecutive game and add more goals to his tally.

Dennis Man (Romania)

Dennis Man has been a standout performer for Romania this year. He played a crucial role in creating two out of the three goals that Romania scored against Ukraine. He has been an ever-present figure on the right flank. His playmaking, high pressing and accurate long balls will come in very handy for his side in the upcoming games.
