This Monday’s UEFA Nations League game sees Cyprus make the trip to face Romania at the Arena Naţională.
These sides are the polar opposites of each other. Romania sit in first place in the group and Cyprus are in third place, a whole six points behind.
Romania’s Răzvan Marin has been superb when donning his country’s jersey, amassing four goals in the UEFA Nations League games that he has played. He could be the man to make the difference in this match with another great performance.
Predicted Line-Up: Florin Niță; Nicușor Bancu, Andrei Burcă, Radu Drăgușin, Andrei Rațiu; Nicolae Stanciu (c), Marius Marin, Răzvan Marin; Valentin Mihăilă, Denis Drăguș, Dennis Man
Romania have played well in their last four UEFA Nations League C games. They have yet to pick up a loss so far, winning all four games which leaves them sitting in first place in Group 2. They head into this one with a win in their most recent game, a 1-2 win against to Lithuania back in October. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Cyprus where they trashed them 0-3 on away soil. They have a great chance of extending their lead by taking all three points in this match on Monday.
Predicted Line-Up: Dimitris Dimitriou; Nikolas Ioannou, Nikolas Panagiotou, Stelios Andreou, Andreas Karo; Charalampos Charalampous, Kostakis Artymatas, Grigoris Kastanos; Andronikos Kakoullis, Ioannis Pittas, Loizos Loizou
Cyprus have slightly struggled in their last five UEFA Nations League C games. Two wins and three losses is their official record in Group 3 giving them six points and placing them in third. They head into this one with a win in their most recent game, a 2-1 win versus Lithuania on Friday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Romania where they were handed one of their three defeats as they lost 0-3 away from home. Unfortunately for Cyprus, it doesn’t look like they have much of a chance heading into this one.
There have been 14 matches where these two teams have faced each other throughout history.
Romania come into this match holding an advantage over Cyprus as they have come out victors on 11 occasions, 10 more times than the one win that Cyprus have in this fixture. A draw has happened twice out of the 14 games, leaving Romania with a confident 78.6 % win percentage.
Given Romania are top of the table and Cyprus have only scored three times, this should be an easy contest with the Tricolorii taken another three points to extend their lead in Group 2.
For that reason, our betting experts have gone with Romania To Win + Over 2.5 Goals as our best value tip for this game.
