San Marino vs Romania Prediction and Betting Tips | March 24th 2025
San Marino will face Romania at the San Marino Stadium on Monday in the opening round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side kicked off their qualification campaign on the wrong foot and will be looking to quickly get back on track early in the campaign.
They were beaten 2-0 by Cyprus in their group opener on Friday and were on the back foot for much of the contest before conceding twice in the second half to register an eighth consecutive defeat to the White and Blues.
Romania also suffered defeat in their group opener on Friday, losing 1-0 to Bosnia & Herzegovina and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to maximize their home advantage and possessional dominance. The visitors sit fourth in Group H with zero points and will be looking to get their first points on the board next week.
Following Monday's game, the hosts will return to action in June, going away to Bosnia while the Tricolours will face Austria.

San Marino vs Romania Prediction
La Serenissima's latest result ended a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and they will be looking to put out a response come Monday. They have picked up a win and a draw in their last two games on home soil but will recognize the enormity of their next task.
The Tricolours remain comfortable favorites for the midweek clash despite their latest result and should return to winning ways when they hit the road on Monday.
