In this UEFA Nations League continental cup match, Romania host Sweden, and the home side will likely sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, while Sweden should have slightly more of the ball based on the 47.4% possession figure over the last 10 matches compared to 46.6% for the hosts. Romania come in in a fairly rough state. Their last three matches in this competition have all been defeats, starting with 1-2, then 2-4, and finishing with 0-6. Sweden, meanwhile, have not lost any of their last three either, but in a different way from the hosts, because they have picked up both wins and draws, especially the most recent match where they won 3-1 at home in this competition. If Sweden score first, the game should flow even more in the direction where the hosts have to open up and fight, which is the period when Romania concede most often in their last 30 matches, accounting for 25% of all the goals they have conceded, and that will give Sweden more and more space to counter into.
