Northern Ireland v Romania: All you need to know ahead of Nations League double header

Northern Ireland have won one and lost one of their opening two fixtures in the Nations League.

Their campaign started with a 2-0 defeat by top seeds Poland in Gdansk as the hosts scored two quickfire goals.

It looked to be another disappointing night against Bosnia-Herzegovina, a side Northern Ireland twice defeated in Euro 2025 qualifying last year, as the visitors led 2-1 in the closing stages at Inver Park.

However, captain Simone Magill stepped up with two late goals to clinch victory for Northern Ireland.

Romania, on the other hand, have lost both of their two fixtures to the same opponents.

A heavy 4-0 defeat in Bosnia was followed by a narrow 1-0 loss at home to Poland.
