Graham Potter's Sweden have made a pleasing start in the Nations League and despite a tendency for conceding goals, they will fancy their chances of downing Romania in Bucharest.
Sweden were 2-1 winners at the start of this international window in Solna and have added a win over Poland and a draw with Bosnia & Herzegovina in the Nations League since.
Gheorghe Hagi's side have lost all three games and leaked an alarming 10 goals in their subsequent losses against the Bosnians and Poles.
Romania v Sweden Prediction Tips Summary
Best Bet - Sweden to win & both teams to score @ 21/10
Alternative Bet - Viktor Gyokeres to score anytime @ 21/20
Bet Builder - Sweden to score over 1 goal, Under 8 corners & Most goals in 2nd half @ 13/2
Romania v Sweden Prediction
Best Bet: Sweden to win & both teams to score @ 21/10
Romania have lost all three of their games in this international break and Hagi's side will be hoping to find solace back in Bucharest as Sweden come calling.
Four wins in the last five at home brings hope but one win in 2026 from seven attempts is less encouraging. The Tricolours have leaked 12 goals in their three reverses during this window.
Radu Dragusin's 22nd-minute dismissal pre-empted a drubbing against Poland in Warsaw and fellow centre back Virgil Ghita is also suspended, meaning it will be all change in the heart of the defence.
Sweden have bagged seven points from nine in this window and were only denied a maximum haul by a Bosnian leveller 10 minutes from the end in Zenica on Friday.
That means they are without a clean sheet in 18 matches and while they can triumph in Bucharest, that sequence may continue.
Alternative Bet: Viktor Gyokeres to score anytime @ 21/20
Viktor Gyokeres broke the deadlock in Zenica, taking his tally to three in three during this window and making the Arsenal forward the first player to score in six straight matches in the Nations League.
Alexander Isak was Sweden's first scorer in this set of games but the Liverpool forward has since exited the squad with an injury.
Veteran marksman Robert Lewandowski helped himself to a hat-trick against Romania at the weekend and Gyokeres looks primed to extend his Nations League record-setting streak further.
Romania v Sweden Prediction Bet Builder Tip
- Sweden to score over 1 goal
- Under 8 corners
- Most goals in 2nd half
Pays 13/2
The Swedes have scored in 12 of their last 13 games, only failing in the World Cup exit against France in the summer.
They have scored multiple times in seven of those games and will fancy adding to that tally against what will be a makeshift Romanian backline.
All three goals in Solna were scored before half-time but it might be a different story now, with Hagi sure to demand solidity from a struggling home side. Four of Romania's last five games have yielded at least two second-half goals and Sweden's last three strikes have all come after the interval.
A big corner count seems unlikely with just one of Romania's last six games featuring more than seven corners.
Sweden won the corner count 3-0 in the reverse game and Potter's side have taken just four more corners in two games since, with their three Nations League games so far averaging just five per game.
