Coming in as the penultimate game of the Rugby World Cup 2023 pool stage is Tonga v Romania at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille. Kick-off for this Pool B encounter will be at 4.45 p.m.

🔍 Tonga v Romania Winner Prediction
Neither team have managed a win in the competition so far, but is it starting to look like one team may get their first?
The oracle of world rugby, the rankings, have Tonga in 15th and Romania in 19th. Neither side is a powerhouse on the world stage, but the four-place difference will likely be reflected in the end result on Sunday.
In the last six matches for either side, too, at least the Tongans have managed to win two games, despite losing the other four; Romania, on the other hand, have been destroyed in all six and have barely even got a sniff of the opposition try line in any of those tests. We could go further on the analysis of previous matches for both sides' RWC matches, but with losses in all of them, the only thing that really matters is that Tonga have a less horrible points difference in the Pool B table: -102 versus -234.
It would seem, then, that all key indicators are predicting that this match will be won by Tonga. I don't disagree with that thinking, but I also don't think the bookies are right to think it will be a 30-plus-point game. I think the Pacific islanders will walk this by 12 points.
✔️ Tonga v Romania Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: Tonga to Win
The fact that Tonga to win at 1.01 at Unibet is the best option for what will likely be the inevitable win is embarrassing for the bookies. We get that the Pacific islanders are the favourites, but show some class and at least offer odds in which bettors may actually be interested. Next!
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Romania to Win (+25.5)
I think this is going to be a 12-point game to Tonga, so the idea of Romania to win (+25.5) at 3.75 at Betway? I will take that action all day long. Just be careful before you bet, however, as my prediction is certainly wild compared to the bookies' feelings. I may be right and I may be wrong. Either way, my analysis is not financial advice - it is a betting tip for gambling, and gambling can, on occasion, go wrong. Make sure you cover yourself against that by gambling responsibly.
