Romania have lost three straight competitive matches but will be hoping for a positive result when they get to host Norway in League B Group 1, on Match Day 5 of the UEFA Nations League. Going to this match, Romania are third in the group with four points and Norway are second with nine points, only separated from the leaders, by the fact they lost to Austria. Romania head to this game from a 5-3 win over Belarus in a friendly match, which brought to an end a run of three straight losses. However, they have no clean sheet in their last nine matches and have only three wins in the last 10 matches. They have one win in the last five matches at home and have scored more than one goal in just one of their last seven home matches. Meanwhile, four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they head here with two straight losses in Nations League action, having failed to score in those two matches as well. In the last four Nations League matches, Romania have conceded eight goals and at home in the same competition, they have one win and one loss in the last five, while they have failed to score in three of the five. However, they have three clean sheets in five home matches in the Nations League, and in their last five matches against Norway, Romania have managed no win.

While Romania have a very slim chance of getting to the top of this group, Norway could get there with a win, hoping that Austria drops points in the other game, against Northern Ireland. Norway head here with three wins in their last five matches and the two losses they have suffered in the last five matches are their only defeats in the last 14 matches. They have won seven of their last 14 but have just three clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Two of their three clean sheets have come in the last two matches and will head to this game on a very strong position, defensively and also in attack, having scored in each of their last 19 games. Norway are also unbeaten in their last five matches away from home, winning three, but they have no clean sheet in the last four away matches. They will hugely depend on Alex Sorloth and Erling Haaland for goals, with the two forwards having scored nine goals in Norway’s last five matches. Norway have seven wins in their last 10 Nations League matches and head here with three straight wins in the competition. They have scored 10 goals in the last three Nations League matches, the 4-0 win over Romania in the first meeting is included here, and are unbeaten in their last three away matches in the competition.
