Poland vs Austria Prediction & Betting tips
Austria made a real cold start to the European Championship qualification and the European Championship ticket seemed to be in great danger after two defeats. Now, the Foda-Elf on Monday evening but could actually cheer the leap to the top of the table.
Austria has rehabilitated and is traveling to Warsaw with a large portion of self-confidence to Warsaw to the crash of Group G – the duel between Poland and Austria.
The Poles have dominated Group G so far, but suffered a rather surprising defeat on Friday night in Slovenia. Although Lewandowski & Co. are still in first place, Slovenia’s defeat also puts them back in the action.
After five out of ten qualifying games, a thrilling four-way game suggests itself. Point losses in direct duels can therefore be doubly painful. Despite the defeat in Slovenia, Poland is the clear favorite against Austria according to current odds. The game starts on Monday at 19:45.
Poland:
It seemed as if Jerzy Brzeczek could lead the Poles back to their old strength. After a disappointing World Cup and Nations League, the shape curve of Poland went up significantly. Under the long-standing FC Tirol player Brzeczek Poland could win not only the first four competitive games, but had to accept not even a goal. The current number 20 took the FIFA World Ranking at the European Championships by leaps and bounds.
On Friday in Ljubljana, however, there was an unexpected setback. In the 107th international match of Robert Lewandowski – who is now the sole record team player of his homeland – the favorite had beaten 0-2.
Poland had been able to record far more games over the entire playing time. Slovenia, however, was very deep and consequently barely revealed spaces. The highly-traded offensive found no recipe and was bared in the second half by a hole pass.
Poland still has a comfortable starting position in Group G with 12 points, but the pressure is now much more noticeable. In the event of another defeat, Poland would also lose the league lead to Austria. The home strength has suffered in the last few months.
The two matches against Latvia and Israel were won in the European Championship qualifier, but before that there were four games without a win (one draw, three defeats). Instead of a forecast on the three-way market, it is advisable in Poland against Austria also a tip to the sub 2.5. Ten of Poland’s last twelve international matches ended with a maximum of two goals.
Personnel surprised Jerzy Brzeczek last Friday with the fact that West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has been preferred to Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Although Fabianski was powerless on both goals, Szczesny is still a class stronger.
Due to injury, the leader of the table has to give up Arkadiusz Milik due to thigh problems.
Austria:
The line between dominance and arrogance is extremely narrow. On Friday evening there was the highest victory for the Austrian national football team since March 2013, when Austria also prevailed against the Faroe Islands with 6: 0. The arena in Salzburg remains a good soil for Austria. Ten of the twelve international matches were won in Wals-Siezenheim.
In the end Austria scored no less than 29 shots on goal and with a little more seriousness could have won even more. The predicted game of patience it was not thanks to strong Latvian helpers.
Früh led Austria 2-0 and then had until the half-time feeling that only dream goals count. Hoe here, Gustostückerl there, the necessary seriousness was missing a bit and the reproach of arrogance had to put up with the red-white-red-elf at this time.
In the second round, Austria let this fine play in the cabin and no longer acted arrogantly. The goal hunger could hardly be satisfied and finally there was a possible victory, which could have turned out even higher, but the Latvian goalkeeper rescued several times in Extremis.
The chance to conquer the league standings on Monday would hardly have been imagined after the two defeats. The clear success against the Latvians certainly can not serve as an indicator, but nevertheless ensures a broad chest.
Austria have scored the most goals in Group G with 13 goals scored. Top scorer is Marko Arnautovic with six goals. In his goal celebration, he made a clear statement towards his critics regarding the China change.
Arnautovic is highly motivated and can silence his critics with strong performances. With good switching game – as well as in North Macedonia – the Polish defensive will be cracked.
