UEFA Euro 2024 will take place next summer and the road to qualifying for that tournament continues this week with the latest international break. As clubs across the continent hit the pause button on their domestic leagues, plenty of countries will be hoping to edge closer to the finals. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun encounter between Ireland and Greece.
Romania Form GuideRomania are the kind of national team that are difficult to predict from one tournament to the next. From time to time, they can pull off a major upset that leads you to believe their star players have what it takes to get them to the next level. On the flip side, they have a tendency to allow complacency to come into their setup. Either way, they regularly provide us with must-see international football.
After earning narrow wins over Andorra and Belarus, Romania went on a three-game streak in which they shared the spoils with their opponent as they drew with Kosovo, Switzerland and Israel. Then, in a rematch against Kosovo last month, they pulled a 2-0 win out of the bag.
Andorra Form GuideAndorra are the definition of minnows at the international level. A win, or even a draw, is considered a valuable result for them, and their fanbase is well aware of that. They don’t have the resources necessary to compete with the elite right now and while the Nations League certainly helps the smaller countries, they’re a long way away from where they need to be.
Andorra always seem to put up a pretty good scrap, only to fall just short. They’ve lost narrowly to Romania, Switzerland x2 and Israel, but they’ve also managed to earn a point against Kosovo and Belarus to keep things interesting.
Match PredictionAndorra enjoy making things difficult for their opposition whereas for Romania, the expectations are higher than they have been in a long time. This is likely to be a really intense affair that comes down to the wire, with our official prediction being under 2.5 goals scored.
