Turkey were desperately unlucky not to secure automatic World Cup 2026 qualification – they lost one game, to top-ranked Spain, and won all-but-one of their other ties – but they’ll need to approach this sudden-death playoff clash against Romania with clear minds.
The Crescent-Stars are arguably the best team yet to secure a spot at this summer’s tournament. They’re unbeaten in four, having scored 14 times across those games, and with players like Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz, it’s little wonder Vincenzo Montella’s men are so prolific and front-footed.
Romania’s campaign was mixed, featuring home and away defeats by Bosnia & Herzegovina and a draw with 128-ranked Cyprus, but also a victory 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 too often their efforts have been undone by that porous backline.
