SLOVAKIA can do the unthinkable and secure a spot in the Euro 2024 knockouts with a game to spare – but Ukraine have other ideas.
Ivan Schranz’s sensational strike was enough to see the Slovakians pull off a historic victory over Belgium during their opening Group E fixture.

Meanwhile, Ukraine got off to the worst possible start as they got humiliated 3-0’in their Euro 2024 opener by underdogs Romania.
Goals from Nicolae Stanciu, Denis Dragus and Razvan Marin put Oleksandr Zinchenko and Co bottom of the charts.
However, it just takes one positive result for everything to be flipped on it’s head, so this game is perfectly poised to be a good one.
