vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Sweden come off a 0-3 away defeat to France, preceded by a 1-1 draw away to Japan; further back a 1-5 away defeat to the Netherlands, a 5-1 win against Tunisia, a 2-2 draw against Greece and, further back still, a 1-3 away defeat to Norway. Romania come off a 2-1 win against Wales, preceded by a 1-1 draw away to Georgia; further back two straight defeats, 0-2 away to Slovakia and 0-1 away to Türkiye, further back still a big 7-1 win against San Marino and, further back again, a 1-3 away defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the meetings between the two nations Sweden have won two of the last three, the most recent in 2019 with a 2-0 away win (played on the opposite ground to this match), while further back there is another meeting on the opposite ground won by Romania. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
