Romania are staring down the barrel at a relegation play-off after losing their opening four matches in Group B4 of the UEFA Nations League and Poland should be licking their lips at the prospect of a trip to Bucharest.
Poland must win to have any chance of finishing second in their Nations League group as they sit third after four games, four points behind Bosnia.
However, their sole victory in the group came in a 6-0 rout of Romania in Warsaw in October's reverse fixture and they will be confident of repeating the feat on the road.
Romania have also suffered a pair of one-goal defeats to Sweden and been beaten 4-2 at home to Bosnia, so will be desperate to stop the rot and exact some revenge on Poland.

Romania v Poland Prediction
Best Bet: Poland to win @ 7/10
Poland have won their last four meetings with Romania and the manner of their 6-0 dismantling of them in Warsaw suggests their dominance should be extended.
The early red card for Radu Dragusin helped Poland's cause, but they still won the shot count 24 to 10 and on a different day they could have scored more.
There is still a reliance on veteran Robert Lewandowski to provide Poland's attacking impetus but he scored a hat-trick to show he is still extremely capable despite being 38 years of age.
Poland failed to build on that in Bosnia, limping to a 1-0 loss, but they again created chances freely and had 18 shots to Bosnia's nine.
Bosnia scored with their only effort on target and Poland can respond with a win over Romania, who have lost all four of their Nations League matches.
The hosts have won only two of their last 10 internationals and those victories came against minnows San Marino and in a friendly against a much-weakened Wales.
So Poland, with European quality through the team, should prove too strong.
Alternative Bet: Robert Lewandowski to score two or more goals @ 15/4
Lewandowski's hat-trick at home to Romania means that he has scored eight goals in just appearances against them and he should cause them plenty more problems.
The 38-year-old now plies his trade in the MLS with Chicago Fire, having left Barcelona last summer, and he continues to score goals.
Lewandowski has scored in his last two MLS matches, taking his tally to nine in 19 league appearances, and another brace could come his way.

Poland to win
Robert Lewandowski anytime goalscorer
Tudor Baluta to be shown a card
Pays 31/4
Poland's 6-0 hammering of Romania in October means that they have won the last four rivalries and scored 16 goals along the way.
Lewandowski netted a hat-trick in that emphatic win to make it eight goals in his last three meetings with Romania. Confidence has been restored following his move to Chicago and he may punish them again.
Tudor Baluta one one of four Romania players to be carded in Warsaw as he committed a total of three fouls. He has been cautioned seven times in 32 caps for the hosts and may collect another card.
