Romania and Canada play an international soccer friendly on Friday in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The pregame narrative: Canada will play six matches between now and the end of the year. Les Rouges will match up with Romania first as the European nation preps for its World Cup qualifier coming up on Tuesday.

Best bet
Canada draw no bet (+115): Canada being a sizeable underdog doesn't sit right with me.
The loss to Guatemala at the Gold Cup was a sore spot, but we have to take a look at the recent Canadian performances as a whole, and the side has been impressive.
- Since beating the United States 2-1 on Sept. 7, Canada has won or tied 11 of 12 matches.
- The one loss came against Mexico, the 13th-ranked nation.
- In a friendly in the spring, 28th-ranked Canada defeated Ukraine (No. 26) by a score of 4-2. For reference, Romania ranks quite a bit lower at No. 48.
Even in that loss to Guatemala in penalties, this bet was voided since the result after 90 minutes was a draw.
If we look at Romania's past results, there's nothing to be inspired by.
In 2025, the Romanians have played four matches and are 2-2. The two wins came against nations ranked outside the top 120 (Cyprus, San Marino), and the two losses were against teams inside the top 100 (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina).
On the other side, the Canadians have been much better against higher-ranked competitors.
Key stat: Over their past eight matches against top-100 nations, Canada is 6-2-1, meaning this wager has lost just once in those contests.
