Sweden are searching for their best form after stumbling to a defeat last time out, while Romania come in fresh off a win and ready to battle hard in this international fixture. Sweden are winless in 3 consecutive matches, most recently falling 0-3 as their defense continues to concede goals.

The game looks set to be an open contest from the start. In the first half, Romania often start well and have scored in 7 of their last 8 away matches. While the hosts may step up the pressure in the second half, the visitors' resilience should keep this a closely contested battle throughout the ninety minutes.
