Romania vs Sweden Betting Tips and Predictions

Romania come into this crucial Group F clash with only one thing on their minds; victory. The home side have no option here other than to go for broke and beat Sweden for them to have any chance of making the Euros next year. The Swedes meanwhile can afford to lose here as they face the Faroe Islands next while the Romanians will take on the might of a Spanish side who are already qualified. A win or draw for Sweden would all but secure a Playoff finish for the Swedes.

Romania vs Sweden Betting Tips and Predictions: Romania

All that separates Romania and Sweden is that the Swedes have had one more draw than the home side, a famous 1-1 with Spain in the last round. Romania’s record in this campaign has been pretty good, of their seven matches so far they’ve won four, drawn two and lost two. It probably won’t come down to head to head stats on the final day, but should it then Romania need to do better than the 2-1 defeat they suffered in Sweden on the opening day.

At the National Arena in Bucharest their record is impressive, of their last 15 home games they’ve only lost two, to Spain and the Netherlands, so no shame there and they beat Sweden 1-0 here in a friendly in March of 2018.

In team new Galatasaray attacker Florin Andone has withdrawn from the squad with an injury. He’ll be missed and manager Cosmin Contra may have to go with just one up front. However, George Puscas has five goals in his last eight for the national team and the whole country will be willing him on to get another one or two here to keep their qualification dreams alive.

Romania vs Sweden Betting Tips and Predictions: Sweden

Sweden have been very good this campaign, just when everybody thinks they’re finished as a team they find a few more key players to fit into the side and they click. Like Romania, they’ve won four of their eight matches so far, drawing three and losing one. That draw at home with Spain in their most recent fixture reverberated around the world, they lead until the 90th minute when Valencia’s Rodrigo levelled the score.

The Swedes will be all too aware that Romania must take the initiative here so we reckon they’ve going to set up to soak up pressure and nullify Romania’s attack and try to grab their scoring opportunities through counter attacks.

In teams new, manager Janne Andersson has a fully fit squad to pick from.
