Romania aims to make a statement in the opening match of its World Cup qualifying journey as it takes on minnows San Marino in Serravalle on Monday night.
Even though they carry the unfortunate label of the world's worst team, San Marino achieved a historic milestone in mid-November last year when they overturned a one-goal deficit to stun Liechtenstein 3-1, earning an unprecedented promotion to League C of the UEFA Nations League.
Through brilliant performances in the UEFA Nations League, Romania proved that their football is on an upward trajectory, showcasing absolute dominance in the group stage, overcoming all six obstacles with an imposing 18-3 goal difference and sealing promotion back to League B.
San Marino vs Romania Betting Tips : UNDER 3.5
This clash leaves little room for discussion, given the massive disparity between the sides, and any result other than a comfortable Romanian win over the bottom-ranked team on the FIFA list would be a major surprise. We do not anticipate a goal fest, but rather expect the Tricolours to secure a controlled victory, maintaining enough defensive solidity at the back to keep San Marino at a safe distance. San Marino’s 0-2 defeat away to Cyprus in their World Cup qualifier opener was hardly surprising, but few could have predicted that Romania would be rattled on home soil in Bucharest by Bosnia, who managed to edge them out by the slimmest of margins. Facing an overmatched San Marino side gives the Tricolours the perfect chance to regain momentum in the battle for a top-two finish and sharpen their offensive efficiency with a comfortable triumph, much like their routine 3-0 beatdowns of Cyprus and Kosovo in recent away fixtures.

Ianis Hagi’s second-half introduction added a much-needed spark to Romania’s attack, making a strong case for the Rangers midfielder to start ahead of Florin Tanase.
Coach Mircea Lucescu is set to make just one change for the upcoming match against San Marino, as he expressed satisfaction with his team's efforts, even after their 0-1 defeat to Bosnia on opening day.
