Cyprus vs Romania prediction
Cyprus come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Austria at the Raiffeisen Arena in Vienna the other day, courtesy of a Marcel Sabitzer penalty scored mid-way through the second-half. The Cypriots have managed one victory with three defeats in their four qualifiers thus far.
They now face a Romania side that have been frustrated with two victories and two defeats, one of them being a surprise loss to Bosnia-Herzegovina, leaving them well adrift of the Bosnians and Austrians in Group H. The Romanians most recently suffered a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Canada in Bucharest.
Romania are underperforming after an impressive UEFA EURO 2024 campaign, but they have to remain favourites for this one at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia.
