San Marino and Romania had losing starts to their 2026 World Cup qualification campaigns. The two will be facing off on matchday two in Group H this Monday. Read on for our prediction of this match.
After their 2-0 defeat in Cyprus, San Marino will hope to make early corrections to their campaign. However, with just two wins in 92 matches, there doesn’t seem to be much promise for San Marino here.
They have never won a World Cup qualification game, despite playing 72 times. This match will mark their first meeting with Romania in World Cup qualification. In other competitions, they’ve met three times and lost all.
Romania have the chance to rise from their opening defeat in this qualifying process. They conceded early at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina, and went on to lose 1-0.
They had earlier posted six straight wins and scored at least twice in each of the matches. That loss was also their first in four World Cup qualification matches and also the first time they conceded a goal in the process.
The last time Romania played away from home in World Cup qualification they beat Liechtenstein 2-0, and they’ll want to pick it up from there. In their last four away matches in such qualifiers, they lost just once.

Our San Marino vs Romania Prediction
Romania have never lost to San Marino before and even going into this game we don’t expect that to change. Two of their three meetings were competitive matches and in both, Romania scored in both halves, a total of nine goals.
They meet for the first time in 14 years and Romania will once again go into the game as favorites. San Marino have been poor defensively and conceded in both halves in most of their matches. Romania, on the other hand, are doing much better. Our prediction for San Marino v Romania is for Romania to score in both halves.
