Austria against Romania: First World Cup qualifying test in the Ernst Happel Stadium!
On June 7, 2025, the Austrian national soccer team will say: “Off to World Cup qualification!” The eagerly awaited opening game against Romania is scheduled for the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna. Kick-off is at 8:45 p.m. How goal reported, the game will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, both on pay TV on DAZN 2 and in the paid stream. Commentator Stefan Galler will accompany the viewers through the exciting 90 minutes.
Austria's coach Ralf Rangnick goes into the game with a lot of expectations. He demands maximum energy from his players and focuses particularly on pressing situations. “We don’t have to give the Romanians any space or time,” emphasizes Rangnick, whose team has already completed a challenging week of training in Seefeld. The focus here was primarily on building up the game and exploiting opportunities, which left a lot to be desired in the last international matches, including a 1-1 draw against Slovenia and a 2-0 defeat against Serbia. Austria would like to finally end the series of three games without a win against Romania.
Overview of the group stage
Historically, the two nations have faced each other in an evenly contested match: Austria has recorded two wins, while there are two draws and a defeat against Romania. But the statistics could count for little in this constellation, because the current form certainly suggests an exciting encounter. Austria scored 9 goals and conceded 5, while Romania scored 14 goals and only conceded 4 goals. Loud Kicker 4 out of 5 Romanian games ended over 2.5 goals, indicating an offensive game.
The game: what will matter
For Rangnick and his team it will now be important to consistently implement their own style of play. Romania is considered a strong opponent who likes to build up from the back. The Austrian players must be able to disrupt the Romanian ball movements and create a goal threat themselves in the transition games. “95 minutes of intense football action are required,” said Rangnick. In order to offer the fans an exciting game, the players have to be wide awake from the first minute.
The Ernst Happel Stadium will certainly create the right atmosphere in the evening. It remains to be seen whether Austria can make a new breakthrough in World Cup qualification. Fans and neutrals can look forward to a thrilling duel between the two national teams!
