Best Tip: Romania to win

We think there's an outright winner in this fixture, and it's Romania. Their recent form statistics show what they've got in their locker on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat Cyprus too. The odds point towards Mircea Lucescu's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Tuesday evening too.

Goal Statistics

Romania's defensive record is very strong, Mircea Lucescu's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive World Cup Qualifying Europe matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Cyprus makes sense in this context.
