Slovakia vs Spain
Slovakia have endured a mixed bag of a campaign at UEFA Euro 2020, winning their opening game by narrowly eking out a 2-1 result against Poland. In Matchday 2, [the Falcons were beaten 1-0 by Sweden, which has put them in a spot of bother ahead of their final Group E clash, although that is the only reverse for Stefan Tarkovic’s men in 2021.
Spain, on the other hand, have faced just one defeat since Luis Enrique returned to the helm of the national side. Having said that, La Roja have hardly set the stage alight with their performances, winning just six times in 15 games. And at UEFA Euro 2020, Spain have been one of the more disappointing teams, playing out a draw in each of their two games so far.
Spain were 2-0 victors the last time they locked horns with Slovakia, with Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta finding the back of the net in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying fixture

The Falcons have progressed from the group stage on each occasion.

Spain have drawn each of their two fixtures at UEFA Euro 2020 so far. In the history of the European Championship, only one team has drawn all three games in a single group stage – Portugal in 2016, with that campaign ending with the triumph over France in the final. Spain have drawn eight of their 15 games since Luis Enrique returned to the helm in 2019 (W6 L1).

Portugal vs Spain
Portugal, the reigning champions of Europe, kicked things off in style as they defeated Hungary 3-0 in their opening fixture. However, a 4-2 defeat to Germany last time out has left Fernando Santos’ men third in the group standings. A win on Wednesday would ascertain their qualification to the next phase while a draw would also be enough, depending on how the game between Germany and Hungary pans out. A defeat coupled with a Hungary win would see them eliminated.
France, one of the favourites to win, started off the Euros with a strong 1-0 win over Germany. However, Les Bleus were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary in their previous game which threw the group wide open. Didier Deschamps’ world champions, currently top of Group F, are guaranteed to go through to the knockout stages even if they lose, thanks to the results in Groups B and C, although they will push for all three points in Budapest in order to top the group and build momentum.
Portugal and France clashed against each other as recently as November last year in the UEFA Nations League with the world champions eking out a narrow 1-0 win.

Despite Fernando Santos’s cautious approach against Germany, Portugal were weak at the back and changes could be made against France, with midfielder Renato Sanches expected to start in place of Bernardo Silva. Joao Felix and Nuno Mendes both missed the defeat in Munich but have since trained with the rest of the squad.
Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema will be disappointed to have only found the net once so far. Didier Deschamps does have alternatives up front in Olivier Giroud, Kingsley Coman and Wissam Ben Yedder - but Ousmane Dembele was ruled out of the tournament on Monday with a knee injury.
