Prediction: 3-1
Cyprus
After their clash with Kosovo was abandoned in the stoppage time at 0-0, Romania will look to clinch top position in the standings when they take on Cyprus in their last group game. The Tricolori are on a four-game winning run in the Nations League, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Parma forward Dennis Man is sidelined through suspension, with Farul Constanta attacker Denis Alibec likely to step up.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Lithuania on Friday, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Bucharest. As Cyprus are not considered good travellers, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the visitors, both Grigoris Kastanos and Nikolas Ioannou are banned for the match. You should know that Romania outplayed Cyprus 3-0 earlier in the process.
Highlighted Team (Romania):
Romania were one of just four European sides to take part at the first ever World Cup in 1930, and the team have since achieved respectable results on the international stage, albeit failing to challenge for major trophies.
Led by arguably their best ever footballer Gheorghe Hagi, the Tricolorii narrowly missed out on the semi-finals at the 1994 World Cup in the United States, losing to Sweden on penalties. Romania made a total of seven appearances at the World Cup finals, while qualifying for five European Championship tournaments. The Tricolorii went the farthest in 2000, when they were eliminated by Italy in the quarter-finals.
Tied at the top of the goalscoring charts, Gheorghe Hagi and Adrian Mutu are the only two Romanian footballers to have gained worldwide recognition, but Dorinel Munteanu, Dan Petrescu, Gheorghe Popescu and Viorel Moldovan are also worth mention. Romania play their home games at the Arena National in Bucarest.
