Romania Players to Watch
There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Romania's offense. We start with Dennis Man (#10), he is one of the best players playing for Parma and in the Italian Serie B he scored a goal in one game. The attacker is very important for the team and it is very likely that he will score a goal. The next player is Alexandru Cicaldau (#8), in 25 games played he has 4 goals in the Turkish Super League with Galatasaray. Finally, Andrei Ivan (#19), had an incredible season in Romania with Universitatea Craiova, scoring 14 goals in the 2021-2022 season. The 25-year-old attacker will be responsible for distributing the ball all over the pitch and it is very likely that he will score a goal.
Romania
Like Montenegro, Romania is in group 3 of League B in the UEFA Nations League. They come prepared and had 2 friendly games against Israel and Greece. The last match of the Romanian national team was on March 29, 2022, they played a friendly match against Israel, the match ended in a draw 2-2 at the Netanya Municipal Stadium. They arrive as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good time they are going through.
Montenegro players to watch
The next three players are considered key to Montenegro's offensive and defensive attack. First Milutin Osmajic (#20) is a Cádiz player who plays in the midfield position and in the regular season in LaLiga he could only play 8 games but he scored in the last match for Montenegro. It is very likely that we will see him scoring a goal in the game. Next up is Adam Marusic (#23), he plays as a midfielder for Lazio, in the Italian Serie A he got a goal and an assist in 30 games he played. He will be very key in midfield to form dangerous plays and maintain control of the ball. Lastly, Stevan Jovetic (#10) plays as an attacker for Hertha Berlin, in the Bundesliga he ended up playing 17 starts scoring 6 goals and one assist.
Montenegro
Montenegro is in group 3 of League B in the UEFA Nations League, it will have to face Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and Finland in the group stage. All these games will be very even, so Montenegro will have to come out concentrated to not lose any of them. The last match of the Montenegro national team was on March 28, 2022, they played a friendly match against Greece and Montenegro won 1-0 with a goal from Milutin Osmajic. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
UEFA Nations League
Also known as the League of Nations, it is an official international championship played between UEFA's national teams. It is endorsed by FIFA and takes place every two years. The last champion was France, on October 10, 2021 they faced Spain and the French team ended up winning 2-1.
The stadium
