The match against Romania will be critical for Israel
Sport5.co.il journalists explained that the match with Romania will probably determine the team that will go to the final tournament in Germany. The game will take place in Hungary on November 18.
“The match against Romania will be critical. The national team expected to win the match against Kosovo, but lost on the brink, reducing the chances of qualifying for EURO 2024.
However, it’s all in Israel’s hands and, in theory, they can finish the group in first place. If he scores nine points in three matches, he will no longer depend on the direct confrontation between Romania and Switzerland. Success with Switzerland or just Romania doesn’t guarantee qualification, but it could be enough.
Even six points can be enough with Romania and Andorra, if Romania does not beat Switzerland” – Sport5.co.il.
