Bosnia – Romania. Forecast and announcement for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match

On Saturday, November 15, there will be a World Cup qualification match between the national teams of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania. The game will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Last year’s Nations League draw went terribly for the team – Bosnia was drawn into one of the most difficult groups in Division A and had to face Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary. But for 6 matches, the national team scored only 2 points and returned to the B echelon of the tournament.

The current selection is going much better for Bosnians. For 6 matches, the team scored 13 points, thanks to which it is now on the 2nd step of the tournament table of its own group. Only 2 points separate the national team from the leader, Austria.

Romania

The team played the last Nations League draw in Division C and did it very confidently. In 6 rounds, the Romanians won 18 points, so they took the 1st place in the group by a large margin and got a direct promotion to echelon B.

In the selection for the 2026 World Cup, Romania scored 10 points in 6 rounds, so it is currently in the 3rd place of the quintet. Only 3 points separate the tricolors from the 2nd step and contact matches for entry to the World Cup, so this game can be key in the fight for a ticket to the World Cup.

Personal meetings

Since 2022, the clubs have played each other in official games three times. Bosnia won 2 times minimally, and another game ended with a score of 4:1 in favor of Romania.

Interesting facts

• In the last 9 home games, Bosnia won only 2.
• Bosnia scored first in 6/8 of the last games.
• Romania won in 4/6 previous away matches.

Forecast

I’ll bet both to score at odds of 1.75.
