The football match Romania vs Norway will take place on Tuesday, October 15th, 2019, in Group D of the preliminaries of the European Championship 2020, at the stadium “National Arena” in Bucharest.

Romania was difficult in the match with the Faroe Islands

The Romanian national team played again very weak, but they won 3-0 at Tórshavn with the Faroe Islands. The score is false, because “ours” struggled for 73 minutes with the Faroese, playing very slowly and without opportunities. Shots and crosses sent the ball, passes back or goalkeeper Ciprian Tătăruşanu and a tangled game, but the chance was on the side of the “tricolors”, who eventually managed to open the score through George Puşcaş (74), after which Alexandru Mitriță (83 ) and Claudiu Keserü (90 + 4), increased it. The Romanian fans watched the game on Pro TV and were extremely disappointed with the Romanian performance. Eventually 3p were won, and now the home game with Norway, which must necessarily be won, will follow. The team coached by Cosmin Contra is after 7 matches played in Group F on the 3rd place in the standings, having 13p, after Spain 19p and Sweden 14p.

Norway, the only team to break a point for Spain

The representative of Norway ended the tie, score 1-1, the match played at home at the “Ullevaal” stadium in Oslo with the Spanish team. “La Roja” opened the scoring in the 47th minute through Saúl Ñíguez, but the Nordics, encouraged by 25,200 spectators, fought to the end and managed to equalize, in the 90 + 4 minute, through Joshua King, who converted a shot from 11 meters. Spain came after 6 straight wins in Group F and aimed to finish the preliminaries with maximum score. The team coached by the Sudanese Lars Lagerbäck is after 7 matches played in Group F on the 4th place in the standings, having 10p, 9p of Spain, 4p of Sweden and 3p of Romania. “Løvene” have the most equality results in the group, not less than 4, but they were not with Malta or the Faroe Islands, with which they will probably make 12p. The Scandinavians will play in Romania on Tuesday, then at home with the Faroe Islands and away with Malta.

Romania vs Norway Picks

The hosts come after two grueling matches, with Malta and the Faroe Islands, where they won 6p, but without playing anything. After losing Dragoş Grigore, who accused muscle problems in the left leg, the coach Cosmin Contra was left without Vlad Chicricheș, who suffered a break in the match with the Faroe Islands. In their place will come Iulian Cristea from FCSB and Andrei Burcă from CFR, but headlines in the center of the defense will be Adrian Rus and Ionuţ Nedelcearu. The guests have a very good morale, because they managed to win 1p with Spain on Saturday night. They have no injured or suspended players and will go to Bucharest to win and then continue the fight for second place only with Sweden. In the last 6 games with Romania, the Nordics have had 2 victories and 4 draws, being unbeaten with it since 1986. Both teams have an offensive style of play, managing to score at least one goal in the 7 matches played in Group F. in Bucharest will play without spectators after the incidents caused by supporters in the matches with Spain and Malta, but 30,038 children under 14 and accompanying will attend! To make it all right, Romania will have to beat Norway, make 16p and hope that Sweden will not win at home to Spain, to climb to the second place in the standings. It was difficult with Malta and the Faroe Islands, because they played defensively, but with Norway it will be different, because the Scandinavians will attack, as the 6p that will win them in the last two matches with the Faroese and the Maltese does not secure them 2nd place. In conclusion, I recommend that you bet both teams will score at least one goal.

Our Prediction: GG

Odds: 2.00
