Romania and Cyprus will both be searching for their second win of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign when they lock horns in Bucharest on Tuesday. The hosts are in second spot in Group H with three points to their name, while the visitors are in third position on goal difference, with the advantage of a game in hand over their opponents.
Romania carried momentum into their qualifying campaign after they won promotion from League C in the Nations League.
They won all six of their matches in a group that included Cyprus, securing them an immediate return to League B after suffering relegation in 2022-23.
Romania have struggled to build upon their Nations League success at the start of the 2026 World Cup qualifying bid, having lost two of their opening three matches, including a narrow 1-0 loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina on matchday one.
Mircea Lucescu's side may have bounced back with a resounding 5-1 win over minnows San Marino in March, but they failed to take anything from Sunday’s away clash with Austria, as Florin Tanase’s stoppage-time effort proved to be a mere consolation in a 2-1 defeat.
As a result, they know they can ill-afford to drop points on Tuesday if they are to have any realistic hopes of reaching their first World Cup since 1998, so they will certainly take confidence from the fact they have won their last five games against Cyprus.
