This will be Algeria’s last friendly prior to the World Cup, while Romania is preparing for the Euro 2016 qualifications, having failed to reach Brazil 2014. The match will be played on neutral venue in Switzerland, but the Algerians are expected to have over 10.000 fans at the game.
Algeria is looking really good at the moment. They have a good team with some important players from big european clubs (Feghouli, Ghoulam, Taider, Bentaleb, Slimani or Ghilas) and won 3 matches on the spin vs. Burkina Faso, Armenia and Slovenia. Of course they still have some shortcomings and it was clear in their playoff for the World Cup where they barely edged Burkina Faso (2-3, 1-0). The Algerian team will use the best first 11 available as this is their last pre World Cup friendly.

Romania missed the qualification to the World Cup in a playoff vs. Greece (1-3, 1-1) but they did not play too bad in the qualies. THe team is rebuilding and is starting to have some chemistry. A few days ago Romania played a very poor match vs. Albania (1-0) but used some reserves in the team. For this game coach Victor Piturca said: “We will play our best players and treat it as an official game. We play against a team qualified at the World Cup and we want to test ourselves and win the match”. So clearly Romania approaches this very seriously. Two-three players will miss due to injury.
Romania lineup: Pantilimon- Chiricheş, V. Găman, Dr. Grigore, Raţ – Bourceanu, Pintilii – Chipciu, Maxim, Cr. Tănase – Marica
Algeria and Romania are very similar in terms of quality and also the style of play is similar: they build on a good defense but can also score goals. Because both teams will treat this International Friendly very seriously I think we will have a tactical game and both will want to try and not allow goals and not lose the match. I see three possible tips: under 2,5 (odds to low), Both to score – NO and the draw. My tip will be the draw because of better odds and I am also scared that it could finish 1-1 – which would mean losing the Both to Score – NO bet. So I’m tipping the draw. Correct score prediction: Algeria – Romania 0-0.
