Group E leaders Poland host Romania on Saturday 10th for their World Cup Qualifiers 6th round fixture. The referee of the match will be the French man Ruddy Buquet. Poland are hoping to win this match in front of their fans and secure their top spot in group E. They are six points clear of 2nd place Montenegro with five rounds to go till the end of the group stage. They are unbeaten in the group stage so far coming after four wins in a row. Their star Robert Lewandowski is the top scorer of the group with 8 goals scored and 2nd top scorer of the whole World Cup Europe Qualifiers after Cristiano Ronaldo with 9 goals. Romania, on the other hand, are coming after just two draws and one defeat in their last three games and seem to struggle to find the back of the net (6 goals scored in 5 matches). Romania are a defensive team and they will be looking to put their best effort and keep a clean sheet which seems impossible against a great attacking Polish team.
Romania’s national team coach Christoph Daum talked about the quality of the Romanian players complaining that he doesn’t have at his disposal a talented squad and that his players need time in order to arrive at their best level. He said they are going for the win but it will be important for them to go back home at least with one point. In Romania, all the people and the media are talking about the bad results of the German coach saying that he should be sacked. The internal problems are an important factor and might affect the results. Romania have failed to score in their last five encounters and the luck of a great attacking player count a lot also in this match. It’s hard to believe that the Romanian team will pull off the upset and win this contest. Interestingly, Romania have a better overall head-to-head record against Poland winning three times, drawing one and losing one during the process. But in the reverse match Poland have shown their quality and easily won 3-0 in their away game.
Romania are a very difficult side to beat at home but on the road their performance is really poor. Poland have problems in their defense and we’ve seen them conceding five goals in their last five fixtures but is their attacking firepower that will lead them to the World Cup 2018 in Russia. We expect a match dominated by the Polish team. They are the better team with quality players in all the fields and they should easily win this game. We also expect Romania to play their last chance, push for the win and contribute on the scoreboard.
