Cyprus vs Romania Prediction for 10 September 2025 - Football

🔊 A local showdown is on the cards in the World Cup qualifiers as teams unlikely to secure a spot face off. Cyprus will host Romania, with the visitors rightfully considered the favorites for this clash. Here’s our prediction for the event along with a bet offering attractive odds.

Head-to-Head

The last official encounter between these teams took place on 11 June 2025 and ended with a 2-0 scoreline. Here's a comparative breakdown of the statistics from that match (Romania were the home side):

• possession percentage: 60% vs 40%;
• corners: 10 vs 3;
• fouls: 12 vs 9;
• yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
• shots on target: 6 vs 1.

📊 The last time these opponents faced off was in June of this year. Romania predictably secured a convincing victory.

Cyprus Team Overview

The team won't be the weakest in the group, especially with San Marino in the mix, whom Cyprus have already defeated 2-0. This victory stands as their sole win in 2025, with performances against other opponents being far less promising. The Cypriots lack player quality, though their style of play can sometimes be quite appealing.

The match against Romania is their second fixture in the September cycle. They previously fell to Austria 1-0. It's worth noting that Cyprus held their ground and defended valiantly, despite Austria generating a significant xG tally. Such a performance is commendable, even if it didn't yield any points.

Romania Team Overview

The team has been dealt a tough hand with a very competitive qualifying group. Romania are already trailing Bosnia by 6 points, and there aren't many games left to play. Dropping points against Cyprus is not an option, as it would make their situation almost irreparable.

The squad's form is cause for concern. There haven't been any qualifying matches in September yet, but the debacle against Canada hasn't been forgotten. It was a friendly match that ended in a 0-3 defeat. The team delivered a dismal performance in front of their fans, managing only two shots on target throughout the game. They need to turn things around.
