The match between Romania vs Bosnia-Herzegovina in the World Cup qualifiers will take place at 1:45 a.m. on March 22. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.

Latest Romania vs Bosnia-Herzegovina team information
Romania will be without a number of key players for this match through injury, including Radu Drăgușin and Valentin Mihăilă, while Alexandru Pașcanu is also absent from the squad. That means the coach will have to make at least three changes from the team's last match.
As mentioned, Andrei Rațiu is having an excellent season in La Liga and is said to be attracting interest from both Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Rayo Vallecano defender is sure to be in Romania's starting line-up.
Rangers' Ianis Hagi is also likely to feature in the starting line-up, while Daniel Bîrligea will be looking to add to his international tally after netting once in three appearances for Romania.
On the Bosnia & Herzegovina side, Edin Džeko is still playing at a high level despite being 39 years old. The veteran striker will be in attack and will continue to improve his scoring record, which currently stands at 67 goals for the national team.
Atalanta BC's Sead Kolašinac, a former Arsenal defender, will also be a key figure in defence, while Plymouth Argyle's Nikola Katić could be given a chance at some point in the game.
The visitors are not expected to make too many surprising changes to their starting line-up, with Ermedin Demirović and Armin Gigović also likely to start in this 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Latest football commentary Romania vs Bosnia-Herzegovina
Romania have not qualified for the World Cup since 1998, when they reached the last 16, but they had an impressive qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup, winning five of their 10 matches.

The Tricolor will compete in Group H with Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus and San Marino. This is expected to be an exciting group, with at least four of the five teams having a real chance of winning one of the top two spots to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Mircea Lucescu's side head into this game on the back of a run of six consecutive wins, all of which came in their most recent Nations League campaign, where they comfortably finished top of League C Group 2 and secured promotion to League B.
Romania have scored seven goals in their last two games and remain unbeaten since the middle of last year, so they will be full of confidence as they host Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday.
Romania's squad is packed with talent, including Cagliari midfielder Razvan Marin, who has scored 11 goals this season, while Andrei Rațiu, one of La Liga's most prominent defenders, is also a notable figure.
Bosnia-Herzegovina qualified for the 2014 World Cup and won a group stage match, but failed to qualify for the next two tournaments in 2018 and 2022.
Their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign was a huge disappointment with just one win along the way, suggesting the team needs to improve significantly if they are to compete for a ticket to the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026.
In the Nations League, the Dragons have struggled, having been drawn in Group 3 of League A, where they have been drawn against strong sides such as Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary. Bosnia-Herzegovina have only taken two points from six games, conceding 17 goals and failing to register a single win.
Under coach Sergej Barbarez, the team held the Netherlands to a 1-1 draw in their last match on 19 November 2024, but three days earlier they suffered a heavy 0-7 away defeat to Germany.
Bosnia-Herzegovina will have the chance to pick up important points in their next two home games against Cyprus and San Marino. If they can win against Romania, they will create a huge advantage in the race for Group H.
