Romania vs Austria Prediction & Tips
However, the start of this qualifying campaign proved more complicated. On the first day, Romania lost at home to Bosnia and Herzegovina (0–1). In the second match, Mircea Lucescu’s men easily dominated San Marino away (5–1). They then suffered a narrow defeat in Austria (1-2), before winning at home against Cyprus and conceding a frustrating draw in the return leg: leading 2-0, the Romanians were eventually pegged back for a final score of 2-2.
Austria started their World Cup qualifying campaign later than most of their rivals, as they were involved in the Nations League play-offs. In the last edition of League B, the Austrians faced Slovenia, Norway and Kazakhstan, finishing second behind Norway, who secured promotion to League A. In the play-offs, Austria faced Serbia, drawing 1-1 at home but losing 2-0 away, which kept them in League B.
