Preview –

The stats might get you thinking that this match will be close and by close I mean very close. However, that might not be the case.

Romania will play this match as the favorites. They are ranked 17^th in the point chart and they will most likely get a comfortable win if they play at their usual level. Now, everyone might wonder, why would I day that when Canada scored more points. The reason is, Canada won those two matches over 20 years ago. In recent 3 matches, they couldn’t even win a single one against Romania. Not only that, the score gap only widened over time. Thus it is clear that they might be more dominant in this match than the stats show.

Canada on the other hand will be the underdogs in this match and I have already explained why they will play in the back foot. However, they are very close to Romania in terms of raw capability and thus in the end, the match could go either way. They are ranked 18^th at the moment.

Prediction –

Our prediction for this match is that Romania will win it by 28-24.
