Arena Nationala in Bucharest will be the centre of attention when Romania and Austria lock horns in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. Romania are six points behind second place Bosnia & Herzegovina in Group H, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. FCSB midfielder Adrian Sut has overcome his foot injury, while captain Nicolae Stanciu has been ruled out.
The Austrians, on the other hand, rolled over San Marino 10-0 on Thursday to retain top position in the standings. As a win over Romania will see Marko Arnautovic and Co. move one step closer towards 2026 World Cup qualification, we are tempted to bet on the visiting side. The good news for the visiting team is that Wolfsburg midfielder Patrick Wimmer is back to contention after serving a one-game ban against San Marino. Real Madrid defender David Alaba is expected to keep his place in the starting XI.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 12 October 2025 at 19:45.
