Croatia vs Romania match preview
It’s been a truly miserable u21 Euros campaign for both of these two, with this dead-rubber the last match both will play at this summer’s edition.
Co-hosts Romania came into the competition with high-hopes, given that they had home advantage and were inspired by the team of 2019 that had upset the odds to reach the semi-finals.
However, on opening night, Emil Săndoi’s side were swatted aside 3-0 by pre-tournament favourites Spain, before a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Ukraine on Saturday.
Victor Dican’s unfortunate own goal, coming in the final minute of normal time, sealing the Tricolorii Mici’s fate.
Similarly, Croatia were beaten 2-0 by Ukraine on matchday one, before a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Spanish last time out, with the only goal in that one coming with only 19 seconds on the clock.
The Mladi Vatreni reached the quarter-finals of this competition for the first time ever two summers ago, but Dragan Skočić's side will not be repeating that feat here.
So, in this complete damp squib at Stadionul Steaua, will Romania give their passionate supporters something to shout about?
Croatia team news
Dragan Skočić may be tempted to heavily rotate for this inconsequential fixture, giving minutes to those who are yet to feature in București.
He made two changes for the Spain game, Krešimir Krizmanić and Matija Frigan coming in, but a lot more are expected this time.
Romania team news
Emil Săndoi could once again change his goalkeeper; Mihai Popa started against Spain before the more senior Ștefan Târnovanu came in at the weekend.
Valentin Țicu, Mihai Lixandru, Vladimir Screciu, Alexandru Ișfan and Claudiu Petrila were all also brought into the XI against Ukraine, but this didn’t have the desired outcome did it?
