Coverage of the game will also be broadcast online at ITV Hub and on BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT.

10 previous meetings between the two. Germany have 7 wins, Slovakia have 3. They only met in a friendly last month with Slovakia winning 3-1 in Augsburg.

The Germans have now won 13 of their last 16 games at major tournaments. They have yet to concede a goal and have averaged 71.9% possession over their first three games, the highest ratio so far at Euro 2016.

This will be Slovakia's 8th match at a major tournament. They have only won 2 of the previous 7 and their goalless draw against England was the first time they have kept a clean sheet in those matches.

i fully expect the germans to be at their efficient best & even though slovakia might cause them a few problems the result will be a german victory...

Germany against a Skrtel led defence. This might not be pretty...

I'm not sure whether Slovakia will camp themselves around their own penalty area as they did against England but if they do, it won't work.

Germany have the quality to break them down and I expect them to do just that.

Attack vs. Defence for 90 minutes with the German's to nick it 1-0.

With Gomez up front, Germany will need about 10 good chances to finally score the winner.

Welsh underdog mentality: Slovakia to nick it....

(Yeah, I know. Unlikely.)

Seems unlikely that a new pitch can settle down as quickly as that, but I guess UEFA didn't have much of a choice if they considered the old one to be "irreparably damaged".

What's with the half Zorro mask on the Slovakian player? Is it for a medical reason?

No, its face paint in the Slovakian colours.

edit... I am fed up with the forum today. Posts either disappearing or not showing up is frustrating.

Right, let's see if Germany are more competent at beating a 10-0-0 formation than England. I think I know the answer already.

You can see the lines where the sections of turf have been joined together, particularly on the near side below the centre circle.

Good tip over, Khedira close with the header.

And then Boateng thumps in Germany's first.

Seven minutes. It took Germany seven minutes to do what England couldn't do in 90.

The difference is stark.
