World Cup Qualifying Preview

Romania enters the match as overwhelming favorites. While they cannot qualify through this stage, they are assured of a play-off spot due to their Nations League performance. Romania is aiming to secure a third-place finish in Group J and prepare for the potential play-off clash. In their previous match, Romania suffered a 3-1 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Denis Dragus is suspended for the San Marino match after being sent off in the game against Bosnia, and David Miculescu is expected to return to the side.

San Marino, on the other hand, has had a difficult qualifying campaign, losing all seven of their matches. They have only scored one goal in qualifying, while conceding 32. In their previous encounter on Matchday Two, Romania secured a comfortable 5-1 victory. San Marino is currently at the bottom of Group H.

What to Expect

Romania will likely aim for a strong performance to boost morale ahead of the play-offs. FCSB frontman Birligea has recently made an impact on the international level. San Marino will be hoping to put up a strong defensive effort and possibly grab an unlikely goal.

Prediction

Given the disparity between the two sides, a Romania win is widely expected. Several predictions suggest a high-scoring affair, with more than 4.5 goals being a likely outcome.
