Sweden host Romania in the UEFA Nations League on 25 September 2026, with the numbers below current as of 24 September 2026. In this season’s Group D table Sweden sit 4th and Romania 3rd out of four sides, though both nations have played zero matches in the group so far, meaning the placings reflect seeding rather than results on the pitch.
Head-to-Head Record
The two sides have met on all 4 recorded meetings on record, the earliest a 1994 World Cup group-stage draw and the most recent a 2019 UEFA European Championship qualifier, so this reflects the full recorded history between them rather than a capped sample. Sweden have won 2 of those meetings, Romania 1, with 1 draw. Sweden have scored 5 goals to Romania’s 3 across the four fixtures, an average of 2 goals per meeting. One of the four, a 2018 fixture won 1-0 by Romania, was a friendly rather than a competitive match.

| 2019-11-15 | Romania vs Sweden | 0-2 | UEFA European Championship qualification | 2018-2019 |

Sweden: Recent Form
Sweden’s last six matches read L D L W D L, for a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 15 for a points-per-game figure of 0.83. They failed to score once in that run and have not kept a clean sheet across the six matches. Two of the six were friendlies – a 2-2 draw with Greece and a 1-3 loss to Norway – so only four carried competitive weight, including a heavy 1-5 defeat to Netherlands and a 5-1 win over Tunisia at the World Cup.
