Romania and Kosovo to Clash in UEFA Nations League
Romania Seeks Redemption After Disappointing Euro 2020 Campaign
Romania will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign when they face Kosovo in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday. The Romanians failed to win a single game at the tournament and were eliminated in the group stage.
However, they will be confident of getting their Nations League campaign off to a winning start against Kosovo. The Kosovars are ranked 116th in the world, 54 places below Romania.
Kosovo Aiming to Continue Impressive Run of Form
Kosovo, on the other hand, will be hoping to continue their impressive run of form. They have won four of their last five matches, including a 2-1 victory over Greece in their last Nations League outing.
Kosovo will be without their star player, Vedat Muriqi, who is suspended for the match. However, they will still be confident of getting a result against Romania.
Key Battle: Ianis Hagi vs. Milot Rashica
One of the key battles in the match will be between Romania's Ianis Hagi and Kosovo's Milot Rashica. Both players are creative midfielders who can create chances for their teammates and score goals.
Hagi is the son of Romania legend Gheorghe Hagi, and he has already shown that he has inherited his father's talent. Rashica, on the other hand, is one of the most exciting young players in Europe. He has been linked with a move to a number of top clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United.
Prediction
Romania will be the favorites to win the match, but Kosovo are a dangerous team and they will be confident of getting a result. I predict that the match will be close, but Romania will ultimately win 2-1.
