Romania made a bad start to World Cup qualifying, losing at home to Bosnia & Herzegovina. However, they responded with an emphatic 5-1 victory against San Marino in Serravalle, with Ianis Hagi and Denis Alibec among the goals.
Romania failed to build on the San Marino win, losing 2-1 in Austria last time out. They were two goals down when Florin Tanase pulled one back in the 95th minute. After two defeats already, Mircea Lucescu’s men have left themselves with work to do.
Cyprus have won one and lost one after two games in Group H. The Cypriots secured a 2-0 victory over San Marino in game one, with Ioannis Pittas and Andronikos Kakoullis getting the goals at AEK Arena in Larnaca.
Cyprus went up against Bosnia & Herzegovina in Zenica in their second fixture in March, suffering a narrow loss at Bilino Polje Stadium. Pittas equalised on the stroke of half time, but Haris Hajradinovic netted the winner 11 minutes into the second period.

The pair know each other well after squaring off in the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League. Romania cruised to two group victories, winning 3-0 away from home before a thumping 4-1 home victory.
The Tricolours were easy on the eye in November’s meeting in Bucharest, with Razvan Marin (2), Daniel Birligea, and Florinel Coman scoring. Pittas, who has scored twice in World Cup qualifying, netted the goal for Cyprus.
Romania vs Cyprus Betting Tips & Predictions
After losses to Bosnia & Herzegovina and Austria, only three points will do for Romania. They were too strong for Cyprus in the Nations League last year, and the Romanians should claim a comfortable home win here.
Romania have kept three clean sheets in their last four against the Cypriots, shipping one goal in the process. Take a punt on the hosts to win to nil on Tuesday at 1.90. The Romanians were leading at the break in both Nations League victories, and you can get 1.83 for Romania to be winning at half time and full time again.
