Follow the action as Joachim Low's side face Slovakians who finished third in Group B

GERMANY take on Slovakia in the Round of 16 as they bid to add the European Championship to their World Cup crown.

Joachim Low's side have been boosted by the return to fitness of defender Jerome Boateng who limped off against Northern Ireland with a calf problem.

But the Germans will be looking to be more clinical in attack having squandered a series of chances in their last group match.

Slovakia made it through to the knockout stages after their 0-0 draw with England secured third spot in Group B.
