Match Preview:
Two teams already out of contention for the European Under-21s Championship knockout stages, Romania U21s and Slovakia U21s, will face off on Tuesday in a bid to salvage some pride. Both sides have suffered two defeats in their opening matches, leaving Spain U21s and Italy U21s to progress from the group.

Romania U21s have shown resilience despite their losses, narrowly falling to Italy U21s (1-0) and Spain U21s (2-1). Manager Daniel Pancu will be hoping his side can provide their fans with a positive end to the tournament. Their captain, Louis Munteanu, a prolific scorer at this level, is expected to lead the attack.

Slovakia U21s also put up a strong fight in their opening fixture, losing 3-2 to Spain U21s in the dying moments before a 1-0 defeat to Italy U21s sealed their elimination. Despite the results, Jaroslav Kentos's side can take confidence from their performances against strong opposition. Hellas Verona's Tomas Suslov is set to spearhead their attack.

With both teams playing for pride and no pressure of progression, this match could be a more open affair. However, given their similar performances and recent struggles for wins, a cagey encounter is more likely.

Match Prediction: Draw
