Austria vs Romania Prediction, 01:45 June 8: Early Final

TPO - Football prediction Austria vs Romania, 2026 World Cup qualifiers - Team information, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Romania and Austria are in a fairly easy group. Apart from these two names, the main opponent competing for a ticket with them is perhaps Bosnia. Therefore, the confrontations between the teams in this group of three giants are considered the final match of the group. Today is such a match when Austria hosts Romania.

Prediction before the match Austria vs Romania

Both are considered mid-table teams in Europe. In recent years, Austria has risen thanks to a squad of quality players playing for top clubs such as David Alaba, Konrad Laimer, Christoph Baumgartner, Marko Arnautovic...

However, after many years, this generation of players has also slowed down, while they have not found a new generation to replace them. That is the reason why Austria's performance has not been good in the last 2 years.

At EURO 2024, Austria stopped in the first knockout round after losing to Turkey. In the Nations League, they are even in League B. Overall, Austria's performance has not been very outstanding in recent years. It makes them really warned if this team wants to return to the World Cup for the first time in 27 years.

Form, history of confrontations Austria vs Romania

On the other side of the front line, Romania seem to be in a similar situation. In last year's EURO campaign, Romania played quite well in the group stage but they could not get far. The team has not seen any breakthrough in their performance in recent times. The victories that Romania have had have mostly come against the average opponents of the continent, which probably does not say much.

Before entering this match, both teams witnessed contrasting performances. Austria went 3 matches without a win, including 2 draws and 1 loss, while Romania won 7/8 of their most recent appearances. Looking at that, it can be believed that the visitors are more confident. But the truth is not necessarily so.

Because all of Romania's victories were against weak European opponents such as Lithuania, Cyprus, Kosovo. In the match against the equally matched opponent Bosnia, Romania lost heavily 0-5.

Bosnia is also in Group H with Romania in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They understand that Bosnia is a very difficult opponent to defeat, so Romania must take points against Austria at all costs.

Expected lineup Austria vs Romania

Austria: Alexander Schlager, Phillip Mwene, Gernot Trauner, Patrick Wimmer, Philipp Lienhart, Nicolas Seiwald, Florian Grillitsch, Muhammed Cham, Konrad Laimer, Romano Schmid, Michael Gregoritsch.

Romania: Florin Nita, Andrei Ratiu, Mihai Popescu, Andrei Burca, Nicușor Bancu, Razvan Marin, Marius Marin, Nicolae Claudiu Stanciu, Dennis Man, Denis Dragus, Florin Tanase

Score prediction: Austria 1-1 Romania
