Romania vs Belarus Prediction and Betting Tips | 28th March 2023
Romania host Belarus at the Arena Națională in Bucharest in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Tuesday, looking to continue their winning start.
The Tricolors opened their campaign with a 2-0 defeat of Andorra on Saturday, courtesy of goals from Dennis Man and Denis Alibec.
After the opening round of games, the Balkan outfit are second to Switzerland in Group I on goal difference. Another win next week would be a huge boost to their qualifying chances as Romania seek to make a European return for the first time since 2016.
Belarus were thrashed 5-0 by Switzerland in their first qualifying game. Renato Steffen scored a first-half hat-trick while Granit Xhaka and Zeki Amdouni scored apiece after the break to add gloss to the scoreline.
It was the heaviest loss in the group and the White Wings now occupy the bottom position in the table after the first round of matches.
For the record, Belarus have never qualified for any major international tournament since becoming an independent nation in 1991.

Romania vs Belarus Prediction
Neither side would be considered a 'big team' but Romania are brimming with confidence after their opening game win and will go all out against Belarus, given their home advantage.
The White Wolves could focus more on their defense here after conceding five times in their opening match but don't have enough in the tank to hold the Tricolors out for long.
