Romania made an excellent start to their Nations League campaign at the weekend and will look to continue their positive form with a win at home versus Lithuania on Monday.

Lithuania lost their opening Nations League game versus Cyprus.

Match Preview

Romania recent form

The Romanians were impressive on Matchday One, defeating Kosovo 3-0 after goals from Dennis Man, Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus.

They reached the last 16 of the European Championships and earned some new fans due to their attacking playing style, particularly in the opening match.

Romania injury news

Horatiu Moldovan withdrew from the squad due to injury so Florin Nita will likely continue in goal.

The biggest change for Romania recently has come in the dugout, as previous head coach Edward Iordănescu was replaced by Mircea Lucescu.

Lithuania recent form

Lithuania disappointed in their first Nations League game as they lost 1-0 at home against Cyprus.

During the summer they were involved in the Baltic Cup, when they defeated Latvia and then lost to Estonia on penalties.

Lithuania injury news

Veteran duo Arvydas Novikovas and Fedor Cernych were not called up, while Paulius Golubicka, Gvidas Gineitis and Edgaras Utkus have been ruled out.

Romania - Player to Watch?

Denis Dragus scored in the highlight game of the Euros for Romania - a 3-0 win versus Ukraine - and started his Nations League campaign off with a goal versus Kosovo.

Lithuania - Player to Watch?

Giedrius Matulevicius may not have been at his best against Cyprus but scored against Estonia in the Baltic Cup and a Lithuanian goalscorer is a rare thing these days.

Romania vs Lithuania - Prediction

Romania are too good for this group and proved that in the opening game. They face a similarly poor opposition on Monday against Lithuania so they will win this one with ease.
