Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina face off on Monday in a League B Group 3 showdown at Stadionul Rapid. When these two teams faced off on June 7th it was Bosnia and Herzegovina that secured the 1-0 victory.
Romania has really struggled, and they sit in 4th place in the standings having picked up four points. Romania’s last game came against Finland, and the offense scored one goal, and that was enough to secure the draw. Romania fell behind early in the game, but in the 52nd minute, it was a goal by Florin Tanase in the 52nd minute that allowed them to pick a point. They had six shots on goal and 53 percent of the possession. Marius Marin is dealing with a suspension, and he won’t be able to go in this game. Outside of that, it’s expected the same team will start that played on Friday.
On the other side of this matchup is Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they sit in 1st place in the group having picked up 11 points. In the last game against Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina scored one goal and that was enough to secure the victory. They had 55 percent of the possession and three shots on goal, on the way to the victory. In this game, they are going to be without Miralem Pjanic who picked up his second yellow card, and he’s now suspended. All signs point towards Amer Gojak sliding into his spot. In this game, they need to be the team that gets the first goal.
In each of the two games away from home, Bosnia and Herzegovina has played to a draw, and I expect that is going to be the case again in this game. Look for Romania to find a way to get on the board, and Bosnia will add a goal of their own. This game is going to either end 1-1 or 2-2, and it will be a draw. Back the draw.
