Poland - Romania: Can Either Team Claim Their First Win of This UEFA Nations League Campaign?
Poland and Romania will face each other in a UEFA Nations League matchday 3 clash on Friday, October 2, kicking off at 20:45 CET. I am backing a bet on this encounter.
Poland - Romania: Match Preview
Both teams have made an unsuccessful start to the new UEFA Nations League campaign, and their results have not been convincing. Neither Poland nor Romania have won a Nations League match.
Poland played their opening game of the new campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina and drew 0:0. In their next match, they faced Sweden away from home and suffered a 1:3 defeat. As a result, they have a 1:3 goal difference and one point after two matches. They are third in the table, with the fight for promotion still ahead.
Romania have performed even worse than Poland. In the opening round of the new UEFA Nations League campaign, the Romanians faced Sweden and suffered a narrow 1:2 defeat. In the next round, the team played Bosnia and Herzegovina and lost 2:4. As a result, they have no points after two rounds and sit bottom of the table. In the previous Nations League campaign, Romania played in League C, but now they need to avoid relegation from this division, and to do so, they need to start winning.
Match Facts and H2H
- Poland are winless in five consecutive matches: two draws and three defeats.
- Romania have lost their last two matches.
- Poland have failed to win their last three home matches.
- Romania are winless in their last seven away matches.

Probable Lineups

- Romania: Radu; Ghita, Coubis, Dragusin; Ratiu, Marin, Baluta, Bancu; Hagi; Man, Birligea
Prediction
Poland will play Romania at home, and I think the team can beat their opponents. It will not be easy, but I still expect Poland to come away with the win.
