Romania have won four home matches in a row: prediction for Romania vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
The UEFA Nations League second-round clash between Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina will take place on September 28 at the National Arena in Bucharest. The hosts opened the tournament with a 1-2 defeat to Sweden, while Bosnia and Herzegovina drew 0-0 with Poland.
Romania: the team looks far more confident at home
Romania lost 1-2 to Sweden in the opening round, although the team could easily have earned at least a draw based on the overall course of the match. Gheorghe Hagi’s side have been inconsistent overall, recording four defeats, one draw and two wins in their last seven matches.
However, their home record looks considerably stronger. Romania have won their last four matches on home soil and scored 12 goals in the process. Moreover, the team have conceded more than once in only one of their last ten home games.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: solid defense, but problems in attack
Bosnia and Herzegovina defended confidently against Poland and allowed their opponents to create just one genuinely dangerous chance. However, Sergej Barbarez’s side continue to struggle in attack.
The goalless draw was Bosnia and Herzegovina’s second consecutive match without a goal, while the team have scored more than once in only one of their last ten games. In addition, Bosnia and Herzegovina are winless in their last five away matches.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Romania have won their last four home matches.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina are winless in their last five away games.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina have won their last two head-to-head matches against Romania.
The home streak could outweigh the problems of recent weeks: prediction for Romania vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
Romania are inconsistent at the moment, but they look noticeably stronger and more confident on home soil. If Hagi’s side are given more space between the lines and Man and Munteanu are more active in attack, the hosts should create enough chances.
Bosnia and Herzegovina know how to maintain their structure and defend compactly, but their poor scoring record and prolonged run without an away win remain serious drawbacks.
