Romania hosts Belarus in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 11th at Stadionul Ilie Oană (Ploiesti)
Romania is a tough national team that doesn’t set the Thames on fire now. It is hard for Romanians to fight for promotion to the final parts of major international competitions. In the last three official games, Mirel Radoi's men invariably lost to their opponents (Austria, Norway, and Iceland). The first two matches were held in the UEFA Nations League, where the Tricolors have little chances of a final success (the lag five points behind the leader two rounds before the finish). The team has obvious problems with the reliability of defense (seven goals conceded in three matches). The team has many older players, and the average age of the team is 28 years. The leaders of Romania include such players as Chiriches, Tatarusanu, Bancu, Puskas, Alibek, Marin, and Maxim.

In the Nations League (Division C), Markhel's men are intermediate leaders. But it is necessary to understand the level of the rivals that Belarusians faced in this tournament (Kazakhstan, Lithuania, and Georgia). The game of Belarus is not without flaws, is focused on defensive football, and raises questions in matches with strong opponents. Against the background of Romania, the team will be able to test its prospects and real possibilities. Now the coaching staff is trying to actively involve young footballers in the games. This allows experts to assess the prospects of the Belarusian team for the future. Bakhar, Podstrelov, Lisakovich, Pechenin, and Pavlovets are young and may well progress. Experienced performers, such as Gutor, Maevsky, Stasevich, Kendysh, and Skavysh, play an important role in the national team.
We are waiting for a pragmatic match between two teams professing a defensive style. In terms of personnel potential, the home team looks more interesting since it has enough talented players in its squad. Belarusians have not played with strong rivals for a long time, constantly holding matches with openly weak opposition. Even against the background of such teams, Markhel's men were not impressive. We think that the hosts will prove that they are much stronger.
Prediction for the match: Romania to win
