Austria’s 100% winning start to their 2025 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA section Group H campaign will be tested by a plucky Romania on Sunday. This match at the National Arena in Bucharest between the third-placed Tricolorii and the top-placed Das Team comes with our prediction of an away win.

Ahead of this matchday, Romania’s seven points from five matches (W2, D1, L2) put them six points behind second-placed Bosnia, who played a game more. Austria have 15 points in five games with a two-point lead against Bosnia, having played one game less. The group winners qualify directly for the World Cup, while the runners-up will advance to the playoffs.

Romania won 2-1 against Moldova in an international friendly this week, but they need better results in the qualifiers. A 2-2 away draw against Cyprus, where they led 2-0, was a disaster, as it puts pressure on them to bridge the gap to Bosnia.

Home form could be a big boost for Romania with eight wins from their last ten competitive home games (W8, D1, L1).

Austria’s perfect campaign extended this week with a 10-0 demolition of San Marino. That was their third win with a clean sheet in their last four qualifying games, while landing an eighth victory from their last 11 games (W8, D2, L1).
