Russia vs Slovakia - Euro 2016 - 15/06/16

This result might make our game tomorrow more difficult. Wales can't afford to go to the last game on 3 points because Russia could eliminate them.

Slovakia are effectively through if they win this because only England and Wales could finish above them.

If russia beat wales and england beat slovakia then russia will be above slovakia. Even if wales draw tomorrow. Slovakia could very easily finish bottom.

If Slovakia win this they can still finish bottom, England would prefer a Slovakia win over a Russia win as they still have to play Slovakia.
 
How can Slovakia finish bottom on three points when they have a better head-to-head record against Russia? Even if Russia beat Wales they can only get a maximum of 3 points as it stands.

Russia got 1 point against England, a win against Wales would put them on 4 points, if Slovakia lose to England they'll be on 3 points.
