Slovakia and Romania face a crucial encounter in Group E of the UEFA European Championships, with both teams vying for a spot in the last 16. Slovakia, currently third in the group, need a win to guarantee progression, while Romania could potentially top the group with a victory or secure advancement with a draw.

Romania began with an impressive 3-0 win against Ukraine but fell to Belgium 2-0 in their second match. Goal-scoring has been an issue for the Tricolorii, with those three goals against Ukraine being their only strikes in their last four games.
