Kosovo vs Romania Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Ian John in UEFA Nations League Predictions
Kosovo and Romania renew acquaintances in the Nations League Group C2 this week, just a few months after they faced off in Euro 2024 qualifiers. The home team Dardanets are yet to beat Romania in two attempts, failing to score on either occasion. The Tricolorii came into this game after a battling performance in the Euros in the summer, with the venerable Mircea Lucescu back as manager. Who does our prediction favour for this match?
Kosovo head coach Franco Foda will be aware of the task facing his team against one of the stronger nations in League C of the Nations League. The German manager will rely heavily on key players in his squad in this tournament. That will include Napoli defender Amir Rrahmani, the national team captain, and striker Vedat Muriqi, who has 26 goals in 54 games for his country.
Kosovo have just one win in their last five matches, so they are keen to start this campaign strongly against the Group C2 favourites.
The big news for Romania is that legendary head coach Mircea Lucescu is back in charge of the team. He replaces Edward Iordanescu, who led the team into the knockout phase of Euro 2024 in the summer.
Nicolae Stanciu still captains his country and will be their main attacking threat in the tournament alongside Cagliari midfielder Razvan Marin and Bodrum striker George Puscas.
With Lithuania and Cyprus the other teams in the group, a win here for either team would be a significant victory against arguably their most formidable opponent in this group.

Our Kosovo vs Romania Prediction
Our prediction for Kosovo vs. Romania in the Nations League Group C2 is: Under 2.5 Goals.
Neither team comes into this game in particularly good form. Kosovo have one win in five, Romania one win in eight. However, Romania have been playing a much higher calibre of opponent than their opponents. Neither of these sides is prolific in attack, but both have a relatively solid defence. As such, the data suggests a very tight game is likely between the two and that goals may be at a premium.
