Romania lost their first three matches against Northern Ireland between 1984 and 1994 but since then they are unbeaten in five games against them (W2 D3), with the last three all ending as draws.

Northern Ireland have won one of their three away matches against Romania (D1 L1), with that victory coming in an October 1985 World Cup qualifier, a 1-0 win with a goal from Jimmy Quinn.

Romania are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions (W7 D4) since losing 2-1 to Slovenia back in November 2022. They have won their last three in a row, last winning four in a row between March and June 2018.

Northern Ireland have lost their last four away matches, with their last win on the road coming at San Marino in March 2023. They last suffered five away defeats in a row between March 2011 and September 2012.

Romania have lost their last three home international friendlies, losing to Georgia (June 2021), Greece (March 2022) and Slovenia (November 2022), with all defeats coming via a one-goal margin.

Across their last 21 friendly matches, Northern Ireland have only lost five times (W11 D5), although one of those defeats was in their most recent friendly against Hungary in March 2022.

20-year-old Isaac Price scored on his last Northern Ireland appearance against Denmark in November. Should he play in this game he’d become only the 20th player to reach 10 caps before turning 21 and could be the youngest player to score on his 10th cap if he does in this game. The current youngest to score on his 10th appearance is Gerry Taggart in 1991 against Denmark (21y 26d).

Nicolae Stanciu has scored in three of his last five home appearances for Romania, netting once in each game against Belarus (March 2023), Kosovo (September 2023) and Andorra (October 2023).
