Wien, Österreich - On June 7, 2025, the Austrian national soccer team says: "On the World Cup qualification!" In the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, the highly expected opening game against Romania is on the program. The kick -off is at 8:45 p.m. As Goal is transferred exclusively on DAZN both in the PAY-TV DAZN 2 as well as 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 the pressing situations. "We don't have to give the Romanians a room and no time," emphasizes Rangnick, whose team has already had a challenging training week in Seefeld. Here the focus was primarily on its own game structure and the exploitation of opportunities, which in the last internationals, including a 1-1 win against Slovenia and a 0-2 defeat against Serbia, left a lot to be desired. Austria wants to finally end the series of three winless games against Romania.

Overview of the group phase

Historically speaking, the two nations faced each other in a balanced competition: Austria was able to record two victories while there are two draws and a defeat against Romania. But the statistics could count little in this constellation, because the current form speaks for an exciting meeting. Austria scored 9 goals and conceded 5, but Romania scored 14 goals and only got 4 goals. According to Kicker 4 out of 5 Romanian games ended over 2.5 goals, which indicates an offensive game.

The game: What will be important

For Rangnick and his team, it will now be important to consistently implement your own way of playing. Romania is considered a strong opponent who likes to build up from behind. The Austrian players must be able to disturb the Romanian ball campaigns and to ensure the goal in the switching games themselves. "95 minutes of intensive football action are required," said Rangnick. In order to offer fans an exciting game, players must be wide awake from the first minute.

The Ernst Happel Stadium will certainly create the right mood in the evening. It remains to be seen whether Austria can create a new departure in the World Cup qualification. Fans and neutral can look forward to a gripping duel between the two national teams!
