In a rather surprising twist, the top of Group E remains wide open entering the final round of fixtures. Slovakia travel to a sweltering Seville to face a Spain side who sit third in the group after two disappointing draws.

Slovakia come into this game a point ahead of their opponents, but the fate of both teams is in their own hands.

A draw would be enough to secure qualification for the pre-tournament group outsiders, while Spain are in desperate need of a win - possibly for qualification, most definitely for confidence.


Kick-off time: 17:00 BST, Wednesday

TV channel: ITV

Venue: Estadio La Cartuja - Seville, Spain

A comfortable victory is to be expected given the prices of the teams, but factoring in the unbearable heat this game will be played in, as well as the nature of Spain's possession football, it's unlikely the 'home' side will look to do more than what is required in Seville.

Spain's defence is an issue, too. They are limiting their opponents to few shots, but an average of 0.28 expected goals against (xGA) per shot is an alarming figure, making a the winning margin a smarter play than including a probable Spain clean sheet to bets.
