Watch Slovakia Vs. Croatia Stream Live: UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier Start Time, Preview, Crucial Group E Match

Since advancing to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final, the Croatia national team has stumbled. In the inaugural UEFA Nations League, they managed just one win out of four and absorbed a 6-0 thrashing from Spain, per Soccerway. Now, in the 2020 UEFA Euro Qualifiers, the Luka Modric-captained side has won two of its first three, but suffered an unexpected 2-1 loss to Hungary. That leaves Croatia with just six points and level on the Group E table with their Friday opponents Slovakia, whom they must face in an away match that will stream live from the Slovakian city of Trnava.

To find out how to watch a live online stream of the Slovakia vs. Croatia UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier Group E clash, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. Central European Summer Time at the 19,200-seat Anton Malatinský Stadium, also known as City Arena Trnava, on Friday, September 6. In Croatia, which lies in the same time zone as Slovakia, the live video stream will also begin at 8:45 p.m.

In the United Kingdom, the game gets underway at 7:45 p.m. British Summer Time on Friday. In the United States, kickoff will take place at 2:45 p.m. EDT, 11:45 a.m. PDT. In India, the livestream gets underway starting at 12:15 a.m. on Saturday morning, September 7, India Standard Time.

Despite ranking seventh in the world according to FIFA, Croatia trail 45th-ranked Hungary on the Group E table by three points, meaning that Friday’s match in Slovakia could prove significant in determining whether the World Cup finalists even get to the group stage of the European Championships.

Since Croatia declared independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991 and Slovakia broke away from the Czech Republic in what had been Czechoslovakia in 1993, the two countries have faced each other on the pitch six times, per 11v11. Of the six matches, the teams have an even record of two wins apiece and two draws. But Croatia in the current era has never won a match in Slovakia, playing there most recently in 2010 in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. Croatia will need to break that spell on Friday to establish themselves as favorites to advance out of their group.
