Cyprus will invite Romania to the GSP Stadium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. Both teams have seen conclusive results in their four games in the qualifiers thus far, with the hosts recording one win and Tricolorii recording two wins.

The hosts met Austria in their previous World Cup qualifier last week and suffered a 1-0 away loss. They failed to score for the second consecutive match in the qualifiers and will look to return to goalscoring ways in this home game.

The visitors were in action against Canada in a friendly last week and fell to a 3-0 home loss. It was their second home loss in 2025. They are third in the Group H standings of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers with six points, six fewer than leaders Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Tricolorii have won three of their last five games in the World Cup qualifiers, with two of these wins registered away from home. They are on a six-game winning streak against the hosts and have scored nine goals in three wins since October 2024.
