Goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head record and maybe even fair play could figure in the equation and it is Romania who hold the narrow advantage going into this round of matches. Belgium play Ukraine at the same time in the other Group E game.
Slovakia couldn’t follow up their upset of Belgium with another win on Sunday, as they lost to Ukraine despite taking a first-half lead. Romania were beaten by the Belgians but created enough chances to have taken a point which would have sealed their passage to the knockouts.

Slovakia vs Romania is scheduled for a 5pm BST kick-off today, Wednesday June 26, 2024.
