Austria vs Brazil Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday, Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium will host a particularly exciting friendly match shortly before the World Cup: Austria and Brazil are currently meeting two of the most formidable national teams. The Austrians have been without defeat for eight games and have been able to win the last seven matches. It also defeated the World Cup participants Serbia, Uruquay, Russia and Germany. Brazil have been unbeaten in ten matches and have been victorious in seven games. Whose series will continue after Sunday?
Austria:
In November 2017, Franco Foda took over the job as the new coach of the Austrian national team. There have been five games under the German coach so far, all of which the ÖFB selection could win. In the five games conceded only two goals. Still under Marcel Koller Austria had missed the qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In qualifying Group D, the Austrians came in behind Serbia, Ireland and Wales on a disappointing fourth place. In the ten games it had only been enough for four victories. There were also three draws and three defeats. The goal difference was 14:12. After the missed World Cup participation there was a slight change under Foda. The new coach no longer relies only on legionnaires, but also has eleven players from the domestic Bundesliga in the squad.
Before the summer vacation, the ÖFB has set an ambitious triple in the calendar with the test matches against Russia, Germany and Brazil. But you could already win the first two games. After 32 years there was even the first success against the big neighbor Germany. What is against the top favorite on the world title in it? Austria has never won against Selecao. So far, there have been nine duels. The balance is three draws and six defeats. The three draws were all at friendly matches in the 1970s. Four years ago, a series of successes of the ÖFB team had come to an end against Brazil in their last encounter with a 1: 2 defeat. The national team was then under Marcel Koller nine games in a row without defeat.
Brazil :
The Brazilians are with five titles the record world champion and want to get the sixth star in Russia. The last World Cup triumph is already 16 years back. By winning the 2018 World Cup, the Selecao could certainly pay off the historic shame of the 2014 World Cup with a 1-7 draw in the semi-final against Germany. Since June 2016, the Brazilian national team is trained by Tite. After the second premature end at the Copa America since the 2014 World Cup under predecessor Dunga, the football mood among the South Americans has reached its lowest point. But under the new coach, it went up steeply again. Tite was able to stabilize the defense and took no account of old achievements, transfers or names. He switched to a flexible 4-3-3 system and broke with the long tradition of the double six.
The conversion took a lot of pressure from Neymar. Now you are no longer so dependent on the PSG striker. At the start there were nine qualifying victories in a row. With 41 goals and 11 goals conceded the Selecao had by far the best offensive and the best defense in the South American Group. Already in March 2017, the five-time title holder was next to host Russia as the first World Cup participants firmly. From September 2016 to today, there have been 16 wins in 20 internationals (including 10 in the World Cup qualifiers) and only one defeat – this in a friendly match against Argentina (June 2017). In the last four games Selecao was without a clean sheet. Superstar Neymar became fit for the finals in time for a three-month injury break. In the friendly against Croatia, the most expensive footballer in the world made his comeback last Sunday. Neymar came on as a substitute at half-time and scored the opening goal in the 69th minute. In the end, Selecao won 2-0. Against Austria Neymar might even be back in the starting eleven.
