The Slovakia vs Ukraine live stream represents a fascinating clash of styles between two Euro 2024 teams that will have differing memories of their opening fixtures in the tournament.
The Falcons soared to an unexpected victory, Ivan Schranz calm seventh-minute finish capitalizing on a defensive mistake from Belgium to build a lead Slovakia never lost. Sure, they had a little help from VAR along the way – the Red Devils had two goals chalked off, one for a particularly contentious handball – but Francesco Calzona's side were resolute in defense. Win again and they're in the last 16 for the first time since independence.
Ukraine's opening 3-0 loss to Romania couldn't have gone much worse. Despite having more than 70% possession, Serhiy Rebrov's side couldn't do much with it to lose their second consecutive European Championship finals game by three goals or more after their 4-0 quarter-final defeat to England in Euro 2020. Desperate to provide some solace for those fighting war back home, Ukraine will want to shine.
Slovakia captain Milan Skriniar will again look to marshal his side, who have a decent record in competitive fixtures against Ukraine, winning one and drawing the other. They've won 10 of their last 14 games in all competitions, too, and have the grit and determination to go again. Can Mykhailo Mudryk, the sole bright spot for Ukraine against Romania, find away through?
The teams are in and Slovakia are unsurprisingly unchanged following their defeat of Belgium. That means Robert Bozenik continues through the middle up top, flanked by goalscorer Schranz on the right and Lukas Haraslin on the left. Martin Dubravka is in goal, with captain Skriniar in front. Ukraine ring the changes as goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin, right-back Oleksandr Tymchyk, young defensive midfielder Volodymyr Brazhko and experienced winger Andriy Yarmolenko all come into Rebrov's XI. Artem Dovbyk keeps his place up front.
