Austria vs Israel Prediction & Betting tips
Austria will face Israel in its own house on Thursday evening. What can we expect from this international match?
Austria:
Austria started this qualifying pool with disastrous results. The first two duels were lost, so that they had to be pursued immediately. There is now talk of a recovery. Out of the four matches that followed, ten points were achieved, meaning that the Central Europeans are again taking part in a starting ticket for the final tournament of next year. Last month, Austria tied the score with a 0-0 score, visiting Poland in the lead. Before that, Latvia was defeated 6-0.
National coach Franco Foda does not have access to all his players for the next two games. There were already some players who had been out of circulation for some time, such as Hannes Wolf and Xander Schlager. Right flank player Stefan Lainer is also not available. David Alaba has a question mark behind his name. His club Bayern Munich would rather not have Alaba report to the national team, but he still wanted to be part of it.
Israel:
Israel is generally not a small thumb in the qualifying pools, but there is never a real chance of placement. This also applies to the current blue and white campaign. After eight duels, Israel is on eight points, which means that they do not stand a chance. At the same time, there are bigger contenders for a starting ticket for the European Championship. The team won twice in this group. One of those two victories came about in the first game against Austria. In March, the mutual game in Haifa ended in 4-2.
Israel did not go well in the previous qualifying month. In Slovenia, for example, 3-2 was lost at the last minute, after the team of national team coach Andreas Herzog – an Austrian – had taken a 1-2 lead. The team is not overflowing with the individual toppers. Munas Dabbur could make the difference, but the striker is having a hard time with his new club Sevilla. He currently has little competition rhythm.
