In a highly anticipated Group E showdown, Slovakia will face Ukraine on Friday in Duesseldorf at the European Championship. Slovakia currently sits in second place, trailing Romania only on goal difference, while Ukraine holds the last spot after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Romania.

Slovakia's confidence is bolstered by a surprising 1-0 win against Belgium, although that victory required two video reviews to overturn potential Belgian goals. Another win would mark Slovakia's first advancement to the knockout stages since Euro 2016.

Ukraine, on the other hand, enters the match under pressure, following a disappointing defeat rife with costly errors, including mistakes by Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. Eliminated from the tournament with another loss, Ukraine's players are eager to redeem themselves. The match could significantly impact the future trajectory of both teams in the tournament.
