Romania vs Cyprus: Key Match Preview and Predictions for 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
Romania and Cyprus are set to face off in Bucharest on June 10, 2025, in a crucial match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Romania, currently in second place in Group H with three points, aims to improve their standing after losing two of their first three matches, including recent defeats to Bosnia and Austria. They are motivated by a strong record against Cyprus, having won the last five encounters, and will rely on players like Florin Tanase, who scored in their recent matches, despite missing injured key players Radu Dragusin, Ianis Hagi, and Valentin Mihaila. Cyprus, placed third with the same points as Romania but behind on goal difference, seeks their first-ever major tournament qualification. They started their campaign with a win over San Marino but have recently suffered losses to Bosnia and a draw with Bulgaria. Cyprus will field their full-strength squad, including Nicolas Koutsakos, who scored in their last game, and aim to break their winless away streak against Romania. The match will be hosted at Arena Nationala in Bucharest, with live coverage available via streaming services. Data analysis suggests Romania has a 61.04% chance to win, with an expected scoreline of 3-1, based on recent performances and historical results.
