Cyprus are set to host Romania at GSP Stadium on matchday six of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. Cyprus are in second place in Group H, while Romania are in third place. Here's our match prediction.
Since getting the better of San Marino 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers on March 21st, Cyprus have been finding positive results hard to come by. Heading into this clash, they have gone four matches without a win.
A return to the international stage saw them being met with a 1-0 away defeat against Austria in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers.
In light of that result, they have now lost two consecutive qualifier games, failing to find the net in any of those outings.
Romania was responsible for one of the two defeats suffered by Cyprus in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers, and Mircea Lucescu's men will be out to make it two on the bounce.
The Tricolours come into this match after being dealt a huge blow by Canada in a friendly game. In a one-sided affair, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat at home.
So far, they have lost just three of their last 11 matches. Eight of those outings ended in victory. Regarding their performance in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers, they have won two of their last four matches.

Our Cyprus vs Romania Prediction
Cyprus have not had it easy against Romania in past meetings. They have emerged victorious in just one of their last 16 matches (L12, D3). Given such a record, it's difficult to see them pulling off an upset in this one.

They are favorites on paper, and their dominance in this fixture sees us vouching for their comfortable win. Our Cyprus vs Romania prediction is for Romania to win and over 1.5 goals.
