Luxembourg vs Austria Prediction & Betting tips
For the football professionals, breaks are few and far between in autumn 2020, and now the national players have to play three international matches within a week. In addition to the two games in the Nations League, there is also a friendly game on the program, which has to be played due to UEFA’s central marketing. ÖFB sports director Peter Schöttel would like to cancel the game on Wednesday, but this is not possible. So there will be a duel between Luxembourg and Austria on Wednesday.
In many places, Luxembourg is still referred to as a team against whom the only thing that matters is the amount of victory. In recent years, however, the underdog has developed strongly and is a thoroughly unpleasant opponent. Given the starting position this autumn, a surprise is definitely possible. In any case, at first glance between Luxembourg and Austria, a tip for the guests does not seem particularly lucrative.
Is this gut feeling deceptive? We will address this question in the following lines. The betting base also provides analyzes and tips for the other friendly matches, which can be found in the tip category Football International.
Luxembourg :
The former soccer dwarf can now be found in the current FIFA world rankings in a double-digit position. In the current ranking, the team of head coach Luc Holtz is ranked 95th. Holtz has been responsible for his homeland for over a decade – since August 2010. Luxembourg has already celebrated 20 victories under the now 51-year-old coach.
Even when the UEFA Nations League was hosted for the first time, Luxembourg was able to impress with ten points from six games, but in the end the team had to settle for second place behind Belarus. This missed the historic chance for an additional European Championship opportunity, with the addition of the Nations League, Luxembourg also moved one floor higher.
In the third-class Nations League C, too, Luxembourg is not only competitive, but has also surprised enormously so far. After four game days, the Holtz-Elf has nine out of twelve possible points on the credit side and is in first place on the table.
In October, Luxembourg achieved a surprising 2-1 away win against the otherwise strong home team from Montenegro. Despite a gap, Luxembourg prevailed and celebrated their third win in their last five international matches.
The main goal of Luxembourg football is to take part in a major event. For the country with just under 600,000 inhabitants, this would actually be a success that was hardly thought possible. This is currently not realistic, but the future prospects are still better than ever. Luxembourg now has some very promising talent. In addition to Vincent Thill – who has long been referred to as the upcoming star despite his 20 years – Mainz legionnaire Leandro Barreiro stands out in particular.
A young, talented and vicious team, which recently celebrated a surprising number of successes, has a great chance of a respectable success against a strong European national team on Wednesday. The home side are certainly underdog, but the game won’t be as clear as the best bookmakers make it. Between Luxembourg and Austria, a prognosis in the direction of the home side makes sense.
Austria :
Not only Luxembourg are in first place after four out of six games in the UEFA Nations League, but the ÖFB-Elf are currently laughing from the top of the table. However, Austria is one level higher in League B and in all likelihood the direct duel with Norway next Wednesday will bring the decision. The focus these days is therefore clearly on the two home games on Saturday and Wednesday to defend first place.
In terms of personnel, Franco Foda can by no means draw on the full and will have to prove his improvisational skills. As was the case a month ago, Franco Foda will have to do without all Red Bull Salzburg team players in this course. Cican Stankovic, Andreas Ulmer and Albert Vallci will not be available due to several positive tests in the bulls’ camp. Marco Friedl does not get clearance from Werder Bremen, Marko Arnautovic is still playing in the Chinese league on Wednesday and young dad Florian Grillitsch canceled due to private circumstances.
Actors like David Alaba, Stefan Lainer, Marcel Sabitzer or captain Julian Baumgartlinger are unlikely to be on the field from the start in an insignificant international match due to their double burden with international games. It can therefore be assumed that Austria is on the pitch in a completely new team. In view of this, the existing odds on the Foda-Elf between Luxembourg and Austria can hardly be recommended.
Due to the many changes, the flow of the game will most likely suffer. Scoring opportunities galore are not to be expected. This would not fit the tactical concept of the ÖFB-Elf, because under Franco Foda the defensive was clearly stabilized. Austria only conceded two goals in the last six away games.
