It’s a win or bust game for Romania
Six-time qualifier to the World Cup Romania are in with a grand chance to clinch the second position of Group J. In order to achieve that, however, they need to beat Armenia to whom the hosts lost to in Yerevan back in March. With second-placed North Macedonia to face Germany, the Tricolors will go out fully focused to grab all three points.
Needless to say, the Romanian fans are desperate to see their national play in the World Cup finals. In fact, it was in France in 1998 that coach Mirel Radoi’s team last appeared in the finals. In effect, Romania reached the last 16 in that finals. Evidently, 1998 is the year in which the scorer of their only goal in their last match against Germany Ianis Hagi was born.
Romania Key points
A crucial match for Armenia with nothing less than three points is the target
After a very promising start to their WCQ campaign by winning their first three matches, Armenia are suffering. Notably, they are winless in their last four games. With a 6-0 thrashing by Germany and three draws in their next three matches, coach Caparross’s team lost ground.
Armenia gained promotion in the UEFA Nations League and a new era seemed to be on the way. However, two draws against Lichtenstein and Iceland after going ahead in those games cost them very precious four points. Added to their tally of 12 and Armenia could be in a comfortable second place. Nonetheless, they still have a chance to battle for second place.

Romania vs Armenia Prediction
With Armenia’s latest results in consideration, the bookies have Romania as favorites to win this game. Not to mention Romania’s last performance against Germany was also an aspect for them to be favorites.
As we saw in the statistics Armenia are suffering in the offensive third, while Romania scored in three of their last four games. Although the hosts are favorites to win, Armenia are capable of ending matches in a stalemate and hence we recommend a double chance for this one.
Hence we will choose a combo bet at Vbet with double chance and under 3.5 goals which we think is a likely outcome.
