Match prediction 39 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.
The second last match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup Group Stage is a dead rubber as it sees two eliminated teams, Tonga and Romania, try to end their campaign in style. The Pool B match will kick off at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille on the 8th of October at 16:45 GMT.
Australia's Angus Gardner will be in charge of this match, and he will be assisted by Christophe Ridley (England) and Mathieu Raynal (France). Ireland's Brian MacNiece is the TMO for the day.
This has the potential to be a close game as they have played each other four times and have two wins each. Who will go ahead in the head-to-head between these two teams? My prediction below will give you my views on the matter.
💯 Tonga v Romania Betting Odds Rugby World Cup
There are three rugby markets that I like to make use of when betting on rugby, and below you can find the betting odds that five top bookmakers are offering in these markets for this match. Head over to our bookmaker reviews page if you want to find out more information about any of the following bookmakers.
🥇 Tonga v Romania Match Winner Odds
Many matches at this 2023 Rugby World Cup have been completely one-sided and, when you look at the odds in the table below, you will see that the bookmakers are expecting yet another walkover. I think the odds are a bit unfair to Romania, as they are better than their recent odds suggest, and have beaten Tonga before.
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tonga | N/A | N/A | 1.01 | N/A | N/A |
Tie | 61.00 | 61.00 | 51.00 | 69.00 | 67.00 |
Romania | 46.75 | 46.75 | 21.00 | 9.00 | 51.00 |
➕ Tonga v Romania Handicap 3-Way Odds
Maybe you, like the bookmakers, think Tonga will win this comfortably, and would like to place a bet on them to win. As odds for a Tonga win are either non-existent or too short to waste your time with, you can turn to the 3-way handicap betting option where you can give the Pacific Islanders a points disadvantage to boost their odds. You can find the 3-way betting odds below:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tonga (0-35) | - | - | - | - | 1.73 |
Tonga (0-37) | - | - | 1.91 | - | - |
Tonga (0-38) | 1.89 | 1.89 | - | - | - |
Draw (0-35) | - | - | - | - | 23.00 |
Draw (0-37) | - | - | 17.00 | - | - |
Draw (0-38) | 18.00 | 18.00 | - | - | - |
Romania (0-35) | - | - | - | - | 2.10 |
Romania (0-37) | - | - | 1.91 | - | - |
Romania (0-38) | 1.80 | 1.80 | - | - | - |
🏮 Tonga v Romania Asian Handicap Odds
If, for example, you give Tonga a 3-way handicap of -35 points, and they win by 35 points, it will be a theoretical tie and the result of the match will be a draw. To get the draw option out of the equation, you can make use of the Asian handicap odds in the table below:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tonga (-37.5) | 1.82 | 1.82 | - | 1.75 | 1.90 |
Romania (+37.5) | 1.80 | 1.80 | - | 1.75 | 1.90 |
The above odds were correct at the time of writing. For all updated odds, please check out the respective sites.
🔍 Tonga v Romania Winner Prediction
The bookmakers are not giving Romania much of a chance of winning this match, but I am not sure why they have the Tongans as such big favourites - They are both sitting on 0 points from three pool matches, with neither having come anywhere close to picking up a win - although, it must be said that they were in the hardest group by a country mile and can count themselves to be a little bit unfortunate.
They have played each other four times, and have two wins apiece, so I think you can see why I am struggling a little with the odds that are being offered. For what it is worth, I do think that Tonga will go on to win the game, but maybe by around 12-15 points, and not the bucketload that the bookmakers are predicting.
✔️ Tonga v Romania RWC Betting Tips
I am now going to use this online betting guide to give you some betting tips for this Tonga v Romania match. However, before giving you any rugby tips, I need to give you an important gambling tip, and that is to always make sure that you gamble responsibly - set a budget and do not gamble money you cannot afford to lose.
1️⃣ Match Winner: Tonga to Win
For me, Tonga will win this match, but it will be much closer than what the odds are suggesting. I am surprised by the short odds that are on offer, and I would not bother myself with them in all honesty. However, if you would like to bet on Tonga to win, then William Hill are are offering odds of 1.01.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Romania to Win (+35)
As I believe that this will be a closer match than what others are predicting, I feel that there is value in the 3-way handicap betting market. For me, it might be worth putting money on Romania to win with a +35-point handicap. If you agree with me, then Spreadex Sports are currently offering odds of 2.10 for this handicap betting option.
3️⃣ Winning Margin
I like trying to predict the winning margin of a match for two reasons. Firstly, there is plenty of entertainment value on offer and, secondly, the odds available are usually quite enticing. Earlier I mentioned that I think Tonga will win the match by 12-15 points, so I like the odds of 15.00 that Spreadex Sports are offering for Tonga to win by 11-15 points.
