Romania host Sweden in round 4 of the UEFA Nations League League B campaign, looking to reverse a difficult sequence of results.

Their recent home outing ended in a 4-2 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina, following a 2-1 loss away to Sweden in late September.

Sweden arrive with maximum points from their opening two group fixtures, having secured consecutive home victories against Romania and Poland by 2-1 and 3-1 scorelines respectively. Striker V.
