-------------------------------
Austria begins their World Cup qualifying campaign at home against Romania, who previously earned three points against them in recent UEFA Nations League playoffs.

Team Analysis:
Austria missed promotion to UEFA's top tier after losing a playoff to Serbia, despite strong home form. Coach Ralf Rangnick aims to end Austria’s long World Cup absence, but they trail Group H leaders.
Romania, led by Mircea Lucescu, seek to recover after a shaky start, needing points to stay competitive for direct World Cup qualification. Their recent history with Austria is mixed, and Saturday’s match is crucial for both teams' hopes.

Player Situation:
Austria will miss captain David Alaba, goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, and defender Gernot Trauner for the match, though midfielder Xaver Schlager is fit again. Several uncapped players were called up, with Michael Gregoritsch expected to start upfront.
Romania will be without key players Radu Dragusin and Ianis Hagi but welcomes back Valentin Mihaila. Their lineup likely features captain Nicolae Stanciu in a 4-3-3 formation.

Result Prediction:
Austria, strong at home, aim to start Group H with a crucial win over Romania, who face pressure after a recent setback. Austria's midfield depth could challenge the visitors.

Predicted Result: Austria 2-1 Romania.
