Spain eye three points away from home against Romania in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers

Spain will take on Romania on Thursday in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers as both teams have hopes of qualifying for the showpiece event. Spain go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 9:45 PM (Local)

Venue : Arena Nationala, Bucharest

Spain so far have had a wonderful qualifying campaign in their bid for the 2020 tournament. They will look forward to playing their brand of football.

La Roja are currently first in the points table after four games with full 12 points. They have a goal difference of +9.

Their next opponents are Romania away, who are a solid side against whom Spain will need to bring their A game into play.

Spain have been pretty solid defensively and going ahead they have options. It means they are a balanced side. Against Romania away they will need it.

On the other hand, Romania are behind only Spain in the group which shows they are a dangerous team and they need to be at the top of their game in this tough group.

Tricolorii are 2nd in the points table after four games with seven points. Playing Spain at home should be a real tester.

Against The Spaniards, Romania needs to take points off or even get an odd win. They need to keep check on the group rivals.

Both teams are equal in terms of the head to head and this should be a good contest.

It should be a tough ask despite the home advantage to take on Spain but a good showing from the defenders and being good counter attacking wise should see them in goos stead. All the best to them.

Alexandru Chipciu will not be available for Romania for the Spain game as due to suspension.

Prediction

I think this game will be a draw. A 2-2 draw.
