The Falcons rose high in their opening match, getting a stunning win against the superstars of Belgium. Coach Francesco Calzona will simply want more of the same. He was able to call upon Denis Vavro in the last game despite injury concerns. While Ondrej Duda had to come off with cramp, he is expected to be fine too. Another clean sheet for Martin Dúbravka would likely see them into the knockout phases.

The same can not be said of the Blue and Yellow, who suffered a heavy defeat vs Romania in their opener. Serhiy Rebrov's side play Belgium in their final group match, so they really need to win today to have any chance of qualifying for the next round.

Slovakia: Dubravka, Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko, Kucka, Lobotka, Duda, Schranz, Bozenik, Haraslin

Ukraine: Trubin, Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Zinchenko, Shaparenko, Brazhko, Yarmolenko, Sudakov, Mudryk, Dovbyk
