Slovakia star Marek Hamsik is bracing himself for an extremely difficult final group stage fixture at Euro2016.

The Napoli attacking midfielder ran the show as Slovakia defeated Russia 2-1 on Wednesday, setting up Vladimir Weiss' opener, before scoring a fine goal himself to see his side join Wales on three points in Group B.

The Welsh, who top the group and beat Slovakia 2-1 in their opener, next take on England in Lens on Thursday before Slovakia face the Three Lions in Saint-Etienne next week and the 28-year-old believes that could be his country's toughest test yet.

"This win was very important; it opened up the way to the last 16," he told UEFA.com.

"We don't have to worry too much about the England v Wales game.

"We have four or five days to recover and then we play the group favourites. I am sure it will be tougher than these two matches."
