On Sunday evening, Romania faces Norway in a League B match of the Nations League. Romania is defending their place in League B while Norway is aiming for 1st place.
Present in the group of France at Euro 2016, Romania has not managed to afford a ticket for the next edition which will take place next June. Indeed, the 44th nation in the Fifa rankings could only take 4th place in its qualifying group for the Euro far behind Spain, Sweden and Norway but ahead of the Faroe Islands and Malta. While they had one last chance to qualify by playing the play-offs, the Habs failed in the semi-finals by losing against Iceland last month (2-1). In this group of Nations League, the Romanians had not started too badly by taking a point against Northern Ireland (1-1) then winning in front of Austria (2-3). But after their elimination in play-offs, they exploded in Norway (4-0) and defeated at home by Austria (0-1). This week, they will try to put an end to this negative spiral by taking on Belarus.
For its part, Norway will not play the next Euro either, due to a qualifying campaign concluded in 3rd place in its group behind Spain and Sweden but ahead of Romania, the Faroe Islands and Malta. Like their opponent of the day, the Scandinavians failed in the semi-final of the playoffs by losing to Serbia in extra time (1-2 AP). On the other hand, they display beautiful things in this hen. If they lost from the start against Austria (1-2), Erling Haaland’s partners outclassed Northern Ireland (1-5) then Romania (4-0) before winning with a shorter head, again against Northern Ireland (1-0). On Wednesday, they face Israel in a friendly duel.
Romania was forced to carry out a major renewal of staff for this gathering. In addition to the injuries of important Chiriches (Sassuolo), Grigore (Ludogorets) and Balasa (Craiova) and the positive Covid test of Bancu (Craiova), executives Stanciu (Slavia Prague), Deac (Cluj), Hagi (Rangers) and Keseru (Ludogorets) have not been called for this international session. On the other hand, captain and goalkeeper Tatarusanu (AC Milan), defender Tosca (Gaziantep), midfielders Maxim (Gaziantep) and Marin (Cagliari), and forwards Puscas (Reading) and Alibec (Kayserispor) are there. In this team, only 8 players crossed the threshold of 10 selections.
On the Norwegian side, we rely in particular on the young nugget Haaland (Dortmund) who scored 6 goals in 7 caps for the A. Also, note the presence of his attacking buddies King (Bournemouth) and Sorloth (Leipzig). In addition, the tauliers Jarstein (Hertha Berlin), Elabdellaoui (Galatasaray), Linnes (Galatasaray), Aleesami (Rostov), Ajer (Celtic), Henriksen (Rosenborg), Johansen (Fulham), Elyounoussi (Celtic), Berge (Sheffield United ) and Odegaard (Real Madrid) have all been called up.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
In reconstruction, Romania should not be able to resist Norway in this game. Victory Norway!
