Romania vs Poland Predictions

Romania welcome Poland to Bucharest for Saturday's penultimate UEFA Nations League Group B4 contest.

Gheorghe Hagi's side have lost all four group games and were thrashed 6-0 in Warsaw last month. Poland have also endured a difficult campaign but remain in contention for second place.

I'm backing both teams to score in Bucharest, while I also fancy the Poles to pick up the points at the Arena Nationala.

Both Teams Tipped to Score in Bucharest

Romania have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches
Romania lost 6 of their last 8 matches
Poland won their last 4 matches against Romania
Poland have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 away matches
Poland conceded 1+ goals in 8 of their last 10 matches

Poland Dominate H2H Record

Romania and Poland have met on five occasions since 2009. Poland won four of those games, including a thumping 6-0 win in Romania last month.

Romania Still Pointless in Nations League

Romania return to action following a fourth successive Nations League defeat, losing 1-0 at home to Sweden last month.

Viktor Gyokeres' early goal proved the difference as the Swedes held on to secure a narrow road victory.

Despite creating several opportunities, Gheorghe Hagi's out-of-form side were unable to find an equaliser in Bucharest. Romania enjoyed slightly more possession (52%-48%) and registered 13 shots to Sweden's 12.

The hosts also recorded four efforts on target compared to Sweden's two, although the final xG totals (0.56-2.84) suggested the visitors created the better chances.

A miserable run of results has seen the Romanians lose each of their last four games, including a painful 6-0 thrashing in Poland as well as defeats against Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-2) and Sweden (2-1).

Romania have conceded 13 goals while scoring just three in four Nations League matches this year.

The hosts sit bottom of Group B4 without a point and must win this fixture to maintain hopes of avoiding relegation to League C.

Poland Look to Bounce Back From Bosnia Defeat

Poland make the trip to Bucharest in need of a response after a 1-0 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina last month.

Jan Urban's men controlled long spells of the game but were unable to make the most of their territorial advantage in Zenica.

With the score tied at 0-0, a late penalty from Ivan Basic secured a priceless three points for the Bosnians.

Final match stats underlined the Poles' frustration. Urban's side enjoyed more possession (56%-44%) and registered 18 shots to Bosnia's nine.

The visitors also managed four attempts on target against just one for their opponents, while recording a higher xG total (1.57-1.17).

That narrow defeat came just three days after Poland thrashed Romania 6-0 in Warsaw. Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick in a commanding victory at PGE Narodowy.

Poland now come into this contest currently third in Group B4 with four points from four games, four behind second-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Romania boss Gheorghe Hagi has named a 25-man squad for Saturday's contest.

Hagi must make changes from the side beaten by Sweden last month, with Razvan Marin suspended and Nicolae Stanciu and Valentin Mihaila unavailable due to injury.

Alexandru Cicaldau, Olimpiu Morutan and Catalin Cirjan are among those pushing for places in the starting XI.

Head coach Urban has a 25-man squad available for Poland's upcoming Nations League contests against Romania and Sweden.

Jan Bednarek is suspended, while Goalkeepers Marcin Bulka and Kamil Grabara are unavailable through injury.

Robert Lewandowski will lead the Polish attack after scoring a hat-trick in the 6-0 win against Romania last month. The Chicago Fire forward has scored 92 goals in 170 international appearances.

Verdict

Romania v Poland

Romania should make a better fist of Saturday's Nations League return against a Polish side that rarely keeps clean sheets.

BTTS is my first pick, while I also have a stake on an away win.
