Romania are back in the big time after an 8 year absence and feature in Group A, along with France, Switzerland and final match opponents, Albania. In their last appearance, in 2008, Romania went out of the European Championships at the group stage, failing to win a game and will be looking for an improvement this time around. However, the team is some way off that which enjoyed great success at the 1994 World Cup and although they remained undefeated in qualifying, many of their performances were lacking and they only managed to win 50% of their games. Having said that, defensively, they were very good.
Albania will be taking part in their first major football tournament in their history, having come through Group I in second place and thus progressed automatically. Despite showing significant improvement in the level of their performance during their qualifying games, it has to said, that the below par displays of both Serbia and Denmark, really helped Albania seal their place at Euro 2016. However, they have got players scattered around the top European Leagues and will be hoping to come in to this final game with Romania, still with something to play for.
1. Bookies Choice
Unsurprisingly, Romania are the bookies favourites for this match and are available at 2.15 with bet365 to win the game. Considering their superior experience of playing in major tournaments and the fact they remained unbeaten throughout qualifying, Romania deserve their place as favourites for this match.
Albania will be hoping to keep themselves in contention leading up to this game and they will see this as the one they can win. bet365 have them at 3.50 to take maximum points and perhaps a more realistic prospect for the Albania team is to pick up a point from this game and that's on offer at 3.60.
2. Other Bets
It seems extremely unlikely Albania are still going to be in contention to qualify coming in to this match. They only managed to score 10 goals in 8 games when qualifying and France and Switzerland are going to prove to be tougher opposition than they faced in that group. With Romania looking so strong defensively, conceding only 2 goals in their 10 qualifying games, you have to back them at 2.62 with bet365, to win this game without conceding a goal.
You can also back under 1.5 goals at 3.00, with Romania seemingly offering little going forward and Albania possibly happy to settle for a point at this stage of the tournament. Romania are 3/2 to finish third in the group and Albania are available at 8/13 to finish fourth. With Switzerland and France likely to be competing for the top two places, it seems this match will be a battle for third/fourth place and Romania have the edge.
Can Romania and Albania keep themselves in contention to qualify from the group going in to this final match? Or will it be a case of both teams trying to ensure they do not finish bottom of the group?
