H2H: Romania vs. Norway – Score prediction (15.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Romania (FIFA Rank: #31) welcome Norway (#47) to Bucharest in this European Championship qualifying (ECQ) group match after having recorded just one loss across their last nine competitive home matches. Interestingly, each of the three games in which they failed to score during that run ended goalless. Moreover, Romania’s 3-0 away win to the Faroe Islands in their previous ECQ fixture made it two straight wins ‘to-nil’ in the competition. Each of the four goals they netted during that run arrived after the break, a trend also seen in H2Hs, with each of the last four goals they’ve scored against Norway in competitive meetings arriving after the hour mark.

The last H2H encounter ended 2-2, with Norway conceding at the death after leading 2-0 until the 75th minute. However, their 1-1 home draw against Spain last time out made it six consecutive ECQ games without a loss for Norway, while both wins produced a 2-0 scoreline. In addition to this, both of Norway’s last two competitive wins on the road have also featured a 2-0 scoreline. If they get another victory here it will likely be accompanied by a clean sheet, as Norway have kept one in each of their last four ECQ away victories, with three featuring under 2.5 goals.
