EURO 2024: Slovakia Eye Revenge Against Romania in Group Stage Clash

History Favors Romania, But Slovakia Aim to Turn Tables

When Slovakia and Romania lock horns in Group C of UEFA EURO 2024, the stage will be set for an intriguing clash with a historic backdrop.

Head-to-Head: A Romanian Edge

Despite being separated by just over 500 miles, the two nations have met only sporadically. Romania hold a significant advantage in their 11 previous encounters, winning five times and drawing five, with Slovakia claiming just one victory.

That sole Slovakian triumph came in a friendly match in Bratislava in August 1942, when they eked out a narrow 1-0 win. Since then, Romania have dominated the head-to-head record, going unbeaten in the last five meetings.

Recent Form: Slovakia's Shot-Shy Draw

In their previous match on Matchday 2 of EURO 2024, Slovakia played out a goalless draw with Ukraine. Despite having five shots on target, their highest tally in a major tournament, they were unable to find the back of the net.
