In the final match day of Group E, Slovakia and Romania meet in Frankfurt, Germany on Wednesday to play for a chance to reach the Euro 2024 round of 16.

The Eagles started their tournament with the upset of Belgium before falling to Ukraine in their last game.

Meanwhile, the Tricolours also opened with a big victory to give themselves a great opportunity to advance to the knockout rounds.

Both nations would be happy with a draw in this fixture, which should present us with a rare number in the betting odds.

Here is my pick for a unique Slovakia – Romania Euro 2024 match.

Slovakia Picks

The upset of the tournament happened on the first day of this group's play, as Slovakia opened the competition by taking down group favorite Belgium.

Yes, the Eagles were outplayed across most advanced metrics in that triumph, but it was still impressive how they held onto a lead for close to 90 minutes.

With the win, it sets up an opportunity of only needing a draw to advance to the knockout rounds of a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2016.

Striker Ivan Schranz has been the key player through two matches. The Slavia Prague forward has scored both Slovakia goals, and he’ll also need to come up big in this game.

Romania Picks

If you removed Slovakia's win over the Belgians, the other surprising result of the group stage would be Romania’s dominant triumph over Ukraine.

This was a well-deserved result. The Tricolours won the expected-goals battle, according to fotmob.com, and took their chances to secure the 3-0 win.

As a country, Romania have not qualified for the round of 16 of any tournament since Euro 2000. This would also be the second time the Romanians advanced out of the group stage at this competition.

This Romanian team wasn’t picked by many to advance from this group, but the opportunity is there to shock the world with another result here.

Prediction

Your eyes are not deceiving you with the odds for this game. The draw is the clear betting favorite on the three-way line at +110.

The reasoning for this is down to the fact that a point would likely send both teams to the round of 16, and I just don’t think you can make the odds low enough on the draw.

So, my best bet is for this game to end in a tie, which I would play down to -110.

Outside of the situation, other factors contribute to this bet. Neither country is known for its offensive, free-flowing soccer.

You’ll get two teams that will be compact defensively and will not take many risks offensively. This should mean that there won’t be many goals in this scenario.

If this match gets to the 70th minute tied, I could see both coaches shutting it down and playing out the draw. Give me the tie in what likely won’t be the most exciting of games at this tournament.
