Romania will be looking to rediscover their good form when they host Bulgaria in a friendly match on Tuesday.
The Tricolorii are preparing for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, while Bulgaria failed to qualify.
Romania's Recent Form
Romania are winless in their last two matches, drawing 1-1 with Northern Ireland and suffering a 3-2 defeat against Colombia.
However, they went unbeaten during their Euro 2024 qualifying group, topping the group to secure their place in the tournament.
Bulgaria's Recent Form
Bulgaria have been able to pick up some impressive results lately, including draws against Hungary and Serbia, but with just one win against Tanzania in their last 10 games, it's no surprise they failed to qualify for Euro 2024.
Predicted Lineups
Romania
Nita; Bancu, Burca, Dragusin, Nedelcearu; Stanciu, R Marin, Man; Coman, Puscas, Alibec
Bulgaria
Mitov; Antov, Nedyalkov, Atanasov, Popov; Gruev, Kostadinov, Krastev; Delev, Despodov, Kirilov
Head-to-Head
Romania have won 19 of the 36 meetings between the two teams, while Bulgaria have won 10 times, with seven draws. The two sides last faced off in a friendly
clash back in 2015, which ended goalless.
Prediction
Romania are tipped to have too much for Bulgaria, with the pre-game odds favouring the hosts at 4/7.
There is a significant gap of 43 places between the two teams in the FIFA rankings, which could show come kick-off. A close encounter is expected, with Romania looking to get match fitness while also not risking their involvement in Euro 2024.
Our prediction is for Romania to win 1-0.
