Israel Team News
Alon Hazan’s side showed real fighting spirit to stay in the game for automatic qualification to the EUROs in Group I. They earned a valuable point in a 1-1 draw against Switzerland on Wednesday. Three days after a narrow 1-0 loss to Kosovo, Israel was on course to lose again by the same scoreline after Ruben Vargas put Switzerland ahead in the first half. However, Granada striker Shon Weissman came off the bench to score the equalizer in the 88th minute.
Israel has collected 12 points from eight qualifying games, one more than they had from 10 qualifying games for EURO 2020. They currently sit third in Group I, four points behind Switzerland and Romania, who face them on Saturday. The blue and whites know they cannot secure top or second place in Group I unless they beat Romania. Still, they are guaranteed at least a play-off spot regardless of Saturday’s result thanks to their performances in the Nations League and are currently top of League B.
Israel has to cope without injured wings Manor Solomon and Liel Abada, while Sagiv Yehezkel was forced off with an injury in the first half of last weekend’s defeat to Kosovo and did not feature in the draw with Switzerland and is expected to be sidelined on Saturday.
However, Israel can count on Roy Reviv following his suspension, with the defender likely to replace Ofir Davidzada at left-back, joining Eli Dasai, Sean Goldberg, and Miguel Vitor in the back four. Eran Zahavi returned to the Israeli squad this month for the first time in a year since falling out with Israeli sporting director Yossi Benayoun, and after coming off the bench in midweek, the nation’s all-time leading goalscorer (33) will be hoping to cement his place in the starting line-up. on Saturday instead of Doro Turgeman.

Romania Team News
After missing out on EURO 2020 in the playoffs, Romania are on the verge of securing a place at EURO 2024 automatically in Group I, with 16 points from eight games, unbeaten and second only to leaders Switzerland on goal difference. Goals from Nicolae Stanciu, Ianis Hagi, Razvan Marin, and Florinel Coman helped the Tricolors easily beat Andorra at home in their last outing, keeping a third straight clean sheet.
Edward Iordanescu’s men know they will qualify for the next tournament in Germany if they avoid defeat by Israel, while victory can put them in a position to secure the top spot in Group I if Switzerland beats Kosovo.
Iordanescu has no reason to change his defense after three consecutive “clean sheets”, so Radu Dragusin and Andrei Burca will once again start as stoppers, in front of goalkeeper Horatiu Moldovan. Ianis Hagi, son of Romanian icon Gheorghe Hagi, could keep his place in the “number 10” role, which would likely mean Razvan Marin and captain Nicolae Stanciu operating in deeper midfield positions.
Daniel Birligea was handed his senior debut against Andorra in his last outing and will be hoping to fend off competition from George Puscaš and Denis Alibec to keep his place in attack.
