The UEFA Nations League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Bosnia and Herzegovina take on Romania on Tuesday.
Both teams have been inconsistent in recent months and have a point to prove this week.
Bosnia and Herzegovina made an underwhelming start to their Nations League campaign and will need to step up in this match. The hosts played out a 1-1 draw against Finland in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Romania, on the other hand, are at the bottom of their group and will need to work hard in the competition. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Montenegro last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Romania Prediction
Bosnia and Herzegovina are yet to justify their potential as a unit and have plenty of work to do to secure a place in the top flight. The likes of Pjanic and Dzeko are stalwarts of their team and will need to bring their experience to the fore this week.
Romania have been in poor form since the turn of the year and will need to work hard to make an impact this week. Bosnia and Herzegovina are the better of the two teams at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 Romania
