Yahoo Finance Slovakia vs Spain: Euros prediction, kick off time, team news, venue, h2h results, latest odds today
Spain know a win against Slovakia tonight will send them through to the Euro 2020 knockout stages following a tough start to the tournament in Group E - but anything less could see them crash out.
La Roja had been expected to breeze through a group full of tenacity but relatively low on quality, but Luis Enrique’s men now face a real fight to even make it into the last-16 after drawing their opening two games against Sweden and Poland.
The saving grace for Spain is that they know victory on Wednesday in Seville will take them through to the knockouts. A draw would see them finish third, but that result coupled with a Poland win over Sweden would mean an early exit.
As for Slovakia, they would reach the last-16 if they win, or a draw would do coupled with Sweden not losing.

Slovakia vs Spain is scheduled for a 5pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
