Romania takes on the visitors Kazakhstan at “Stadionul Ilie Oana” in the round nine of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Ploiesti on Thursday, October 5th.
Romania is not stable in this qualifying cycle. At first the team defeated Armenia 1:0 this September and then lost 0:1 to Montenegro. With only two matchdays left till the end of the qualifying stage, Romania has lost any chances to promote to the final competition in Russia. The Romanians took nine points with 8-8 goal difference in eight encounters played and, as a result, they settle on the fourth position in the table with no opportunity to get higher. The team earned five points with two goals for and four goals against in four battles in face of its supporters.

The Kazakhs have failed to win since the 7th of June 2016 across 10 latest matches, having gained two draws and eight defeats in them. Kazakhstan’s losing streak has reached six encounters with 3-18 aggregated score. Last time the Kazakhs picked up points on a football pitch was back to the 11th of October 2016 and it was 0:0 draw Romania where Kazakhstan. The side earned two points with four goals for and 22 goals against in eight clashes of the current qualifying cycle enabling to occupy the last place in Group E. Kazakhstan demonstrates mediocre results on the road: four defeats in four matches with 1-14 aggregated score.
Romania and Kazakhstan’s head-to-head history counts only for one fight which was played in the reverse fixture of the current qualification. Both sides are getting ready for a new qualifying campaign and I don’t believe that the teams will bring spectacular football with many goals scored in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
