Slovakia vs Romania Prediction and Betting Tips | June 26, 2024

Slovakia and Romania lock horns in their final group-stage match of the UEFA Euro 2024 at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Wednesday (June 26). All four teams in Group B have three points after two games.

The Falcons kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win over Belgium but lost 2-1 to Ukraine last week. Ivan Schranz scored for the second straight game, giving his side the lead in the first half, but Ukraine completed their comeback with two second-half goals.

The Tricolours, meanwhile, also had a winning start to their campaign with a 3-0 triumph over Ukraine. However, they failed to score in their second match, falling to a 2-0 defeat to Belgium last week.

A win for either side will see them through to the Round of 16, possibly as group winners. If it ends in a draw and the meeting between Belgium and Ukraine produces a conclusive result, Romania will progress to the knockouts.

Slovakia vs Romania Prediction

Slovakia had 14 shots in their defeat to Ukraine, five of which were on target, their joint-best tally at a major tournament.

They have scored two goals in this edition of the European Championship, having scored twice in five games in their last five appearances. Boss Francesco Calzona is likely to stick with his tried and tested starting XI.

Romania, interestingly, also had 14 shots in their 2-0 loss to Belgium, and five of them were on target. Head coach Edward Iordanescu might make some changes, as Nicusor Bancu and Marius Marin are doubts due to minor injuries.

Both teams have impressed with their attacking displays. There's nothing much to separate them, so a closely contested draw could ensue.

Prediction: Slovakia 2-2 Romania
