Team News

Romania

There could be changes aplenty for the Romanians after a poor result in Athens.
Costin Lazar is suspended after being sent off in the first leg against Greece last time out, while Alexandru Bourceanu will also miss out.
However, Vlad Chiriches will be back after missing out on Friday with a broken nose. He will need a protective mask in this game, though.

Greece

Captain Katsouranis is suspended after picking up another yellow card last time out, so Giorgos Karagounis could start.
Konstantinos Mitroglu will once again lead the line for Greece, after his goals put his country in the driving seat of this tie against Romania.
Dimitrios Salpingidis impressed on the right flank with a goal and an assist, and he should start there again.

Prediction

Romania will be disappointed with conceding 3 goals in their first leg clash with Greece, but the away goal that Bogdan Stancu will give them hope of a comeback here.
They will make plenty of changes to their team, so this will be an unpredictable match after Greece scored 3 goals last time out having managed just 6 in their last 5 competitive games at home.
Romania will attack from the get-go, but Greece have a fantastic defensive record. 2 goals without reply is a tough task for the home side, and it may be too much to ask, but this match should have a nervy finish to it.

Romania 1 – 0 Greece
