Romania meets Switzerland later today at the Parc des Princes in Paris in a Group A match in the Euro 2016. It is the same venue where the Carpathians producing a spirited display against France, but returned with nothing. This time, they will be aiming for a win – or a draw at the very least. Switzerland, on the other hand, was lacklustre against Albania, but has three points in the kitty. And there are good chances getting something to your betting kitty, with odds of 23/10 for a Romania win with bet365 (and 21/10 for a draw too).

Romania

Romania won hearts, but no points, against France. It was such a physically and emotionally exhausting effort that the coach Anghel Iordănescu ordered the team to spend some time with the family and go for a short picnic. The team is supposed to be recharged and fresh for this match. A major selection worry for the coach will be that of 35-year-old left back Razvan Rat. The French attackers exploited left wing to the hilt and Rat was powerless to stop the flow of attacks. Switzerland’s winger Xherdan Shaqiri will be looking for an encore. Romania had a handy, but inexperienced, replacement in Steliano Filip.

Nicolae Stanciu will provide the creative flourish from the midfield, while Florin Andone or Denis Alibec will play the role of the lone striker. Romania has an excellent defense, despite the two goals conceded against France. In fact, it is the first time in the last 10 competitive fixtures that Romania conceded more than one goal.

Switzerland

Switzerland has been struggling to score goals in any case. They managed just one against Albania, in spite of getting into some good positions in the midfield. The team has scored just nine goals in the last 10 matches, including friendlies.

Switzerland boasts of a good attacking unit: Granit Xhaka, Shaqiri, Ricardo Rodriguez and Stephan Lichtsteiner. They can surge ahead through both the wings. The problem is that they lack a predatory striker. They need a Robert Lewandowski, but what they have is Haris Seferovic or Admir Mehmedi.

Inconsistency has been a major problem for Switzerland. The coach Vladimir Petković is aware of this: “Switzerland have never won two group matches at a European Championship. We want to make history.”

Romania - Switzerland betting tips

A solitary goal could determine the outcome. It is hard to predict which side would score it though. Bookmakers favour Switzerland to do it. It is no surprise either, as the Swiss has a better attacking unit. But Romania brings in an X-factor when playing, as we saw against France.Under 2.5 Goals is a strong possibility and would be a smart bet.
