Introduction to the Cyprus vs Romania betting tip 2024/2025

Cyprus is currently ranked number 110 in the FIFA Ranking, while the Romania is placed at number 52 in the world soccer's premier team ranking.

In the last match they played, Cyprus collected a defeat. The opposing team was Kosovo, and the match - which ended with the result of 0-4 - was valid for UEFA Nations League. Coach T. Ketsbaia's disposed his team in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

The defense certainly did not shine in this match. One of those responsible for the crisis of the defensive department is Andreas Karo, cumbersome and unpunctual, constantly behind the opponents. The team's overall underwhelming performance was also due to his disappointing performance.

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a victory in the last round. In a dispute valid for UEFA Nations League, Romania, who used a 4-3-3 formation, faced the Lithuania team with a final score of 3-1.

In the last 20 years, the teams have met on 2 occasions. Romania has the advantage in terms of record, having won 1 time and never lost. There has also been 1 draw in this period.

The last time these nations met was for the cup where the Cyprus team was eliminated by Romania after a penalty shoot out, after the score remained 1-1 at the end of the extra time.

Cyprus

Current leaderboard

Cyprus is coming from a defeat in the last match they played. The team of coach Temur Ketsbaia failed to stand up to Kosovo and ended up losing by 0-4. In light of this, the team arrives for this duel in 3rd place of Group 2.

If the UEFA Nations League were to conclude now, Cyprus would be out of the qualification for the next round, since they are in the 3rd place of the group. However, with 4 games still to play, Cyprus can still reach the position 1 on the league table and can get a maximum of 15 points if they win their remaining matches.

In short tournaments with international teams, the tradition and name are usually a good indicator of what the team is aiming for in the championship. Since Cyprus is playing in a lower league division of this UEFA Nations League, they will try to do their best, so that they can get 1st place in the Group and get promoted in the next edition of the tournament.

Although historical data is an important parameter, it is not the only factor that should be considered when assessing Cyprus's chances in this UEFA Nations League. The momentum of the team coached by Temur Ketsbaia is also something that should be taken into consideration.

Therefore, the 110th position in FIFA's ranking also serves as an indicator. As the current moment is not the best, Cyprus arrives as a strong shooter in this UEFA Nations League 2024/2025. That means the players come in without too much pressure, and they might even develop their best soccer.

Cyprus analysis

Cyprus was in the League B in the last Nations League edition and finished in the position 4 of the group. In other words, the main goal for this tournament is to get back to the division above.

At the end of round 2 of UEFA Nations League, Cyprus collected 1 goals scored and 4 goals conceded.

Cyprus has a ball possession percentage of 40.5% in the league. This indicates that it is not the kind of team that shows up on the field to create play. Fans hope that something will change for the next match against Romania and especially that the team will score more goals.
