Scotland vs. Romania Preview & Tips
Scotland takes on Romania in the second match at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Scotland vs. Romania Trends Analysis
Scotland has faced Romania four times in the past decade and has had little trouble putting away the Eastern Europeans. Romania has lost all of its last four fixtures against the Scots by 20 points or more, and has never come close to putting Scotland under pressure.
Scotland’s had a decent build-up to the 2011 Rugby World Cup, winning all three of its warm-up matches, with two wins over Italy and a surprise victory over a fancied Ireland side.
The Scottish backs are still not functioning at full throttle, with 5 tries in three matches, but the way the forwards stood up to strong Irish and Italian packs bodes well for the side’s prospects in its group.
Romania, meanwhile, won two and lost one of its three warm-up matches ahead of the World Cup. All these matches were against smaller rugby nations, which suggests we shouldn’t expect much from the once-mighty Oaks.
The Romanian backs ran in 8 tries over their last three matches. However, not much can be read into this stat given that 6 of these were scored against a hapless Ukraine side.
Scotland vs. Romania Betting Tips
Scotland should win this match, and given that points differences may decide who progresses in Group B, they’ll want to win it well. While Scotland’s backs have struggled to find space and form in the last decade, there are sufficient signs of improvement to believe Scotland will put Romania away comfortably.
With this in mind our Scotland vs. Romania betting tip is to put your money on a high-scoring game, with bets on over 35 points being scored in this fixture.
