Romania will be looking for a win that will take them another step closer to 2024 EURO when they play host to Kosovo on Tuesday night.
The Romanians got off to a perfect start in qualifying for EURO 2024, winning their first two matches against Andorra and Belarus. Since then they have been winless, but are one of the two teams still without a defeat in Group I. Edward Iordănescu's side sit in second place but are just one point behind third, so a win here is badly needed.
Kosovo are one of two teams in this group who have yet to win after five matches. They started the qualifiers with three draws in a row before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Belarus in their fourth match. Primož Gliha's side had a chance to record their first win in their last match when they hosted Switzerland in Prishtina, but only managed another draw.
Romania vs Kosovo Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Romania have produced a good defensive performance of late, conceding under 1.5 goals in four of their five matches so far. In three of those games, a bet on under 2.5 goals was a winner. Furthermore, the Romanians' recent EURO qualifiers at home have been very close. Four of the last five encounters ended with two goals or fewer.
Kosovo may be yet to win a match in this competition, but don't write them off defensively. In three of the five matches so far, the visitors have conceded fewer than 1.5 goals, and in as many games a bet on under 2.5 goals has been a winner.
The last meeting between Romania and Kosovo ended in a goalless draw, which is another recent to expect a close game.

Kosovo team news
Kosovo will be able to call on defender Ibrahim Dresevic, who was absent from the last draw with Switzerland due to suspension.
The visitors will continue to rely on the services of Vedat Muriqi, whose goal last time out was his third in EURO 2024 qualifying.
The Mallorca striker is once again expected to start in a possible 4-4-2 formation upfront along with Milot Rashica, who has contributed two assists so far.
