In their turn, the Romanians go through the disappointing qualification as Anghel Iordanescu‘s team hardly manages to pick up points. In their recent head-to-head against Armenia, the Romanians have being playing in majority since the 54th minute of the match, but laboured 1:0 victory only on the 91st minute of the game. After seven rounds Romanian A-team settles on the fourth position in the Group E with nine points gained and 8-7 goal difference being four points below the second place. Thus, the Romanians have only theoretical chances to reach the second position in the qualification group.
In the first lap the Romanians and the Montenegrins recorded 1:1 draw. In the upcoming fight none of the rivals will be satisfied with a draw, still, they are unlikely to rush forward not carrying about defense.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
