Romania set for another defeat

Romania have lost all three of their games in this international break, and they have suffered five defeats in seven matches in 2026. Sweden account for one of those losses, after claiming a 2-1 victory in Solna late last month.

Graham Potter’s side are in much better shape now than when he took over, when they had lost three of their first four World Cup qualifiers. However, he’s been unable to fix their defensive issues, with Sweden now without a clean sheet in 18 matches.

The visitors have enough talent at the other end to cancel out their worries at the back, and Viktor Gyokeres has scored in all three of their matches during this international break.

Gyokeres should be excited about facing a Romanian defence that was torn apart by Robert Lewandowski at the weekend, with the Polish forward netting a hat-trick in a 6-0 victory in Warsaw.

Romania were beaten 4-2 by Bosnia-Herzegovina in their last home match, and they look set for another high-scoring defeat against Potter’s Sweden.
