Romania: Home Comforts Needed After Opening Loss
Romania’s recent form is a concern, with only four wins in their last ten international fixtures. They started their UEFA Nations League group with a 2-1 defeat away to Sweden.
That result puts pressure on this first home match of the campaign. The team has lacked consistency, also losing to Turkey and Slovakia recently, and needs to use this home advantage.
On a positive note, the manager has a fully fit squad to select from with no injury concerns. This provides stability as they aim to secure their first points of the competition.
