In the most closely contested group at Euro 2024, third-placed Slovakia will face off against leaders Romania in both sides' final Group E encounter on Wednesday at Deutsche Bank Park.

No group is as finely poised as this one, where each team has won one and lost one game after the opening two rounds. It could come down to goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head record and maybe even fair play could play a role in the group finale.

Romania, who hold the narrow advantage heading into this round of fixtures, were beaten 2-0 by Belgium last time out, although they created enough chances to have taken a point which would have been enough to seal passage to the knockouts.

Slovakia, meanwhile, couldn't build on their upset of Belgium with another win on Sunday, as they lost 2-1 to Ukraine.

Slovakia vs. Romania lineups & team news

Slovakia had no fresh injury concerns to deal with heading into the game on Wednesday, although coach Francesco Calzona made one change to the lineup for this game, with David Strelec in for Robert Bozenik in attack.

Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka starts again in between the sticks, with the defensive wall marshalled by skipper Milan Skriniar alongside centre-back partner Denis Vavro.

Napoli playmaker Stanislav Lobotka is partnered once more by Ondrej Duda and Juraj Kucka in midfield, with Lukas Haraslin and Ivan Schranz supporting striker Strelec.

Slovakia starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko — Kucka, Lobotka, Duda — Schranz, Strelec, Haraslin.

Ianis Hagi starts on the right wing for this crucial game, with Dennis Man dropping out.

In midfield, Marius Marin anchors the 4-1-4-1 system, while Denis Dragus spearheads the attack.

Veteran striker Denis Alibec, who returned from injury against Belgium, may feature off the bench in this game.

Slovakia vs. Romania prediction

  • Score prediction: Slovakia 1-2 Romania 

This should be an exciting rollercoaster of a group finale given that all four teams in Group E have a solid chance to qualify for the round of 16.

This game between two evenly-matched sides, in particular, is difficult to predict. Romania have produced the better displays so far, and Slovakia may struggle to break down their resilient opponents.

With that in mind, TSN predicts Romania to continue their impressive tournament by reaching the last-16 with a narrow 2-1 victory here.
