Match Preview

With just two wins from eight as they approach their latest World Cup Qual. UEFA Group E qualifier, Romania have been a real disappointment for a while now. Former international mainstay and current manager Cosmin Contra has been unable to get the best out of some talented players and just two home wins from seven in the months leading up to our Romania vs Kazakhstan preview is an underwhelming record. The Romanians turned over a very strong Chile side 3-2 in a friendly in June, showing a glimpse of what they could be capable of if things improved.

Even if Contra can somehow guide his team to two wins in their brace of qualifiers this week, they still won’t have enough points to make it to the World Cup next year. The Romanians have averaged just a goal per game in over eight Group E matches. Adrian Popa and Bogdan Stancu are their joint top scorers in the qualifiers with two goals each.

The away team are rooted to the bottom of the group coming into our Romania vs Kazakhstan betting tips having drawn two and lost six of their eight contests. Nobody expected Talgat Baysufinov’s side to mount a serious qualification charge, but they probably would have expected to perform a little better than they have. The Kazakhstanis have let in twenty-two goals so far, an average of just under three goals per ninety minutes.

Understandably, the football match odds make them massive outsiders to win Thursday’s clash and looking at those goal concession figures, it’s easy to see why.

Romania vs Kazakhstan Prediction and Betting Advice

As we hinted at earlier, the home team in our Romania vs Kazakhstan bets tend to struggle to find the net. Their lack of consistent goal power should mean that they don’t blow their visitors away on Thursday – the Romanians have only scored more than one goal in a game once in their last eight outings. Talgat Baysufinov’s attack has also been blunt in recent months, they have failed to score in three of their last four and have only found the net three times in eight overall.

Two wins from three should give the host nation just enough confidence to pull another victory out of the bag this week, helping to take their points tally for the campaign into double figures. Contra’s squad have only lost four times in ten, which is a marked improvement since last year. Ladbrokes’ odds represent the best value for bettors and punters looking to back our prediction for Thursday’s battle.

Although he never really lived up to his early promise as a footballer, Bursaspor striker Bogdan Stancu has still managed a respectable fourteen goals in fifty-two international matches for his country. In the Group E games before our Romania vs Kazakhstan predictions, the six-foot forward has only netted twice in eight. Though as we know, attackers usually thrive on confidence and two goals in his last four for the Romanians should give Stancu plenty.

Stancu has scored two in his last four domestically in Turkey for his club Bursaspor too, giving further backing to this instalment from our football tips and predictions. With the Kazakhstan side loose in defence, the thirty-year-old should have plenty of chances to add to his tally for the season. 10Bet once again emerge at the best choice for goal-scorer markets, so we advise you to make the most of their great prices.
