Argentina vs. Romania Preview & Tips
Argentina clashes with Romania in a must-win encounter on Friday at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Argentina vs. Romania Trends Analysis
Argentina and Romania have met just once this decade, wit Argentina putting 50 points past the Romanians at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, while the hapless Romanians scored just a single penalty.
Signs are Romania may put up more resistance on Friday. The Romanians come into the match with three wins and two losses from their last five games, and showed real resolve against Scotland, even leading the Scots before two late tries ended their challenge.
Romania has scored 19 tries in its last five matches. While many of these came against relatively weak nations, there’s no doubt that Romania has the ability to cross the whitewash and could have some cards up its sleeve on Friday.
Argentina, meanwhile, has two wins and two losses to show for its efforts this year. The Pumas played better than expected in their opening World Cup match, pushing England all the way in a match they could have won.
The fact that Argentina played so well despite losing a couple of key players to injury early in the match bodes well for the rest of their campaign, but it remains to be seen whether they can maintain structure and momentum against unpredictable sides like Romania.
Argentina vs. Romania Betting Tips
Form and standing dictates that Argentina will win this match. However the form of the minnows at the World Cup so far suggests that Romania will not allow the Pumas to run away with this one.
Bookies have handed Romania a +19 point handicap for this match. Given that the Argentinean backline never looked like scoring last Saturday, we don’t see them building a 2+ try lead over the Romanians in this fixture.
Our Argentina vs. Romania betting tip is therefor to take a back bet on Romania with a +19 handicap at odds of 10/11 at Ladbrokes.
