Most recent H2Hs: Business as usual for Romania?
This will be the 14th clash between these teams since they first met in August 1931. It is safe to say that Lithuania do not particularly look forward to meeting Romania on the field, as they have lost 12 of the previous 13 skirmishes between these outfits, and have failed to score in nine of them. As it stands, Lithuania are on a four-match losing run against Romania.
