The spotlight is on Romania and Israel when they go toe-to-toe at Arena Nationala, for an exciting match on Saturday. It is one of the many matches in round five of the European Championship group stage, with teams fighting to secure qualification.

It finished all square when Romania last faced Israel. With both denying to back down, the scoreboard said 2-2 in the end. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 12/5.

Before the fifth round of the group stage, Romania are positioned as number two with eight points, while Israel, having picked up seven points, rank as number three.

Israel travel to this game against Romania as number 76 in the FIFA world ranking, with the home side sitting as number 48.

It appears that Romania stands a strong chance of taking the top spot in their group, with it being a two-team race. Even if they do not come out on top, missing out on second place and qualification should never be in any danger.

Whilst outsiders to top their group Israel still seem to have a decent opportunity to at least qualify for the knock-out stage. Though a tough group, we certainly shouldn't count them out.

Israel won three of a possible six internationals, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored 11 while also conceding 11 times.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Romania get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Israel.
