As we head into the final fixture of the European Championships group stage, Group E is sure to be full of drama as all nations - Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine and Belgium - are sitting on three points and so all have the opportunity to progress to the knockout stage.

At Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Slovakia face Romania.

Slovakia current form

Slovakia have won a game and lost a game so far at the Euros, with the win coming impressively in their opening match against Belgium. Ivan Schranz took advantage of some unsure defending and goalkeeping from the Belgians to slide a strike home from a tight angle with just seven minutes on the clock.

The nation followed that with a 2-1 defeat against Ukraine. Despite taking the lead, Slovakia lost after second-half goals from Mykola Shaparenko and Roman Yaremchuk.

Romania current form

Romania were superb in their opening game as they put Ukraine down with a comfortable 3-0 victory, with Nicolae Stanciu, Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus all getting on the scoresheet. Stanciu's whipped strike into the top corner from 25 yards remains one of the goals of the tournament so far.

Unfortunately for them, they lost their next match 2-0 against Belgium.

Slovakia vs Romania Team News

Slovakia head coach Francesco Calzona has named the same starting XI in both matches so far, and with no fresh injury concerns, he will likely keep his personnel for the final match.

Midfield metronome Stanislav Lobotka is Slovakia's best player and will be key to any knockout qualification success.

As for Romania, the only doubt is with regards to the left-winger position.

Florinel Coman started the first game only to be replaced by Valentin Mihaila for the second, but he was subsequently replaced by Ianis Hagi, who came off the bench. Hagi might get the nod.

Scoreline Prediction

Slovakia were perhaps unlucky in defeat against Ukraine, while Romania were mightily impressive against the Ukrainians. This one points to a draw, which could see both nations go through depending on the result between Belgium and Ukraine.

Slovakia 1-1 Romania
