Romania vs Sweden Predictions

Romania drew 1-1 at home with Norway in their last qualifier and on Friday they play host to another Scandinavian side in Sweden. The visitors also drew 1-1 last time out, claiming a point from a tricky home game against current Group F leaders Spain.

All the stats heading into Friday’s match suggest the most likely result between these two countries is a draw and we’ve backed a final scoreline of 2-2.

The form of both teams heading into Friday’s crucial clash provides plenty of reasons to expect a stalemate between the pair, as Romania have only lost two of their last 18 matches and Sweden have only lost two of their last 14 internationals. The hosts have only lost one of their last 10 at home, against Spain, while their guests have only lost one of their last six away games, also against Spain.

Romania have scored at least two goals in 10 of their last 18 matches and Sweden have scored at least two goals in seven of their last 14 outings. Sweden have drawn six of their last 14 matches, while Romania have drawn five of their last 14 and, with just one point separating the two sides in Group F after eight games, we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes this Friday.

We’re confident this week’s clash between Romania and Sweden will end in a draw. Sweden will be happy to take a point from their trip to Romania as it will keep the Scandinavians in second place and on track to qualify for Euro 2020. Romania have proven a difficult side to beat during the qualifiers but really need the win and that is likely to make for an open game of football, with plenty of goalscoring opportunities at both ends of the pitch.
