Romania will host Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Stadionul Rapid-Giulesti on Monday night in the final round of their UEFA Nations League group stage campaign.
The Tricolours have endured a disappointing run at the continental showpiece and are in danger of relegation. They played out a 1-1 draw against Finland last time out, falling behind in the opening 12 minutes of the game before Florin Tanase leveled the scores just after the restart.
Romania sit rock-bottom in their group with just four points from five games. Failure to win next week could see them drop to the lower tier.
After an underwhelming World Cup qualifying campaign, Bosnia and Herzegovina have picked themselves up and have been solid in the Nations League. They beat Montenegro 1-0 last time out, with Augsburg's Ermedin Demirović scoring the sole goal of the game with his first-ever international strike.
The visitors sit atop their group standings with 11 points from five games. They have already secured promotion and will be looking to close out the tournament with a win.

Romania vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Prediction
Romania are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one of their last seven games across all competitions. They have failed to score any goals in three of their last four home games and could struggle here.
The Zmajevi are on a six-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. They are in much better form than their opponents and should come out on top here.
Prediction: Romania 0-1 Bosnia and Herzegovina
