Slovakia vs. Romania expected lineups, starting 11, team news: Calzona to stick with an unchanged XI in make-or-break Euro 2024 game


Slovakia vs. Romania expected lineups, starting 11, team news: Calzona to stick with an unchanged XI in make-or-break Euro 2024 game

Slovakia and Romania will meet at Deutsche Bank Park to wrap up their UEFA Euro 2024 Group E campaigns on Wednesday.

After the first two group-stage rounds of Euro 2024, every team in Group E is level on three points with one win and one loss. Only three goals separate Romania in first place and Ukraine in fourth, so anything could happen on the final matchday.

After shocking Belgium in their opening game, Slovakia couldn't follow up, as they fell foul to a Ukraine comeback on Friday.

The Falcons must now at least draw on Wednesday if they are to progress in the competition as one of the four best third-placed sides.

In order to qualify for the Round of 16 via finishing in the top two, Slovakia must beat Romania and they will finish first if they win and Ukraine fails to beat Belgium.

Opponents Romania, meanwhile, will secure a top-two finish and qualify for the last 16 if they avoid defeat on Wednesday, and they will top the group if they win and Belgium fails to defeat Ukraine.

Slovakia have no fresh injury concerns to deal with heading into the game on Wednesday, and it would not be a shock if manager Francesco Calzona opts against making any changes to the team that lost to Ukraine, having named practically the same XI in both matches at Euro 2024.

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

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

Romania starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Nita (GK) -- Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu -- R Marin, M Marin, Stanciu -- Man, Dragus, Mihaila.
