Romania vs Spain Prediction: Both teams hoping to make history

Romania and Spain will vie for the third spot in the Rugby Europe Championship at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris. Despite falling short of the finals with defeats in the semi-finals, both teams will aim to secure the bronze medal.

Romania will view this tournament as one to remember and will strive to perform at their best in this match. After starting with back-to-back victories against Poland (20-8) and Belgium (33-18), Romania stumbled against Portugal in their third group stage match. However, they managed to secure a playoff spot with a second-place finish. Unfortunately, they faced a formidable Georgia side in the semi-finals and suffered a 43-5 defeat, marking their third loss in their last five matches. Romania will be determined to seize control of this match and give their all to claim the third-place cup.

Spain faced disappointment in the semi-finals against Portugal, where they lost 33-30 despite leading 13-20 at halftime. Their only victories in the tournament came against Netherlands and Germany in the group stage. However, Spain has faced challenges recently, with losses to Georgia and the USA among their last five matches overall.

This promises to be an entertaining contest considering the resilience shown by both teams in the tournament. With Romania winning three of their last five meetings against Spain and Spain securing two victories, the match is expected to be closely contested. However, Spain's strong performance against Portugal suggests they have an edge. While they may face a tough challenge, I anticipate Spain to secure a narrow victory in this closely contested match.
