Colombia vs Romania Betting Tips: Colombia to Win

Even though Nestor Lorenzo’s team was on the verge of losing their impressive undefeated streak of 20 matches (W14, D6) as they were up against the formidable Spain, they were able to put on a spectacular show. They narrowly defeated the lacklustre La Roja 1-0, thanks to Daniel Munoza’s winning goal in the second half.

Los Cafeteros celebrated their historic victory over the three-time European champions, marking their fifth consecutive win. They now aim to keep up this strong momentum in their preparatory matches before they commence their Copa America journey in June. They will face Paraguay, Brazil, and Costa Rica in this competition.

During their successful run, Colombia notably shines with their remarkable 2-1 comeback victory over the formidable Brazil, attributed to two goals from Liverpool’s star player, Luis Diaz. This was followed by a single, unresponded goal celebration over Paraguay, further establishing Nestor’s high-flying squad as the sole undefeated team in the World Cup qualifying campaign.

From Romania’s perspective, the beginning of the calendar year did not go as expected. They ended up sharing a 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland, which is considered an average team. This unfortunate outcome broke their winning streak of three games, where they had previously defeated Andorra, Israel, and Switzerland.

Edward Iordanescu’s team was propelled to the top of Group I following a trio of consecutive victories, particularly after their crucial win against the Red Crosses on the final qualification matchday. This secured them an immediate entry into the EURO in Germany. The team completed their journey without harm, achieving six wins and four draws.

Astonishingly, Romania is yet to taste defeat at the hands of Colombia, having triumphed over them on both occasions at the World Cups in 1994 and 1998, before settling for a goalless draw in a friendly back in 2006. Despite this, we reckon the full-of-confidence Colombia can sprint to a comfortable victory, dealing Romania their first setback since November 2022.

As for the visitors, they might also consider making some changes to the starting eleven, given the noticeable dissatisfaction from boss Iordanescu regarding the performances of certain individuals.

Despite netting the equalizer against Northern Ireland, Parma’s right winger Dennis Man could make way for his Deportivo Alaves peer, Ianis Hagi, while George Puskas remains at the helm of the attacking line.
