Turkey were desperately unlucky not to secure automatic World Cup 2026 qualification – they lost a game to top-placed Spain and won all but one of their other matches – but they will need to approach this sudden death match against Romania with clear minds.
The Crescent-Stars are arguably the best team to date to secure a spot at this summer’s tournament. They are unbeaten in four, having scored 14 times across those games, and with the likes of Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz, it’s no wonder Vincenzo Montella’s men are so prolific and up front.
Romania’s campaign was mixed, with home and away defeats to Bosnia-Herzegovina and a draw with 128-ranked Cyprus, but also a win over Group H winners Austria. Mircea Lucescu has found a way to get goals from all over the pitch – 12 of the Tricolorii hit the net in qualifying – but all too often their efforts have been undone by the porous backline.
