Slovenia vs Austria Prediction & Betting tips
In Group G, Slovenia and Austria face each other on Sunday evening. With a little imagination you can call this a derby.
Slovenia:
Slovenia did a particularly poor service last Thursday. The team of national coach Matjaz Kek was not bad in this group, but on Thursday a loss was suffered. On a visit to Macedonia, the Slovenians fell 2-1. “We were weak collectively, including myself,” Kek said after the match against Macedonia. “There was not a single individual player who could stand out.”
So it is clear that things have to improve on Sunday, in this match against the northern neighbor Austria. Midfielder Rene Krhin (Nantes) dropped out injured on Thursday, and is almost certainly not on Sunday. The Slovenian team can count on great public interest on Sunday. The stadium in Ljubljana has been sold out for this match for quite some time. With a victory, Slovenia would pass Austria in the ranking.
Austria:
The Austrians had a better previous match day. The Central Europeans did win their competition. In Vienna, Austria fell behind against Israel, but it was skilfully turned over in the rest of the match. Das Team certainly did not have an absolute top form, but the displayed was enough to beat Israel (3-1). Some players dropped out early in the match. They have a question mark behind their name for the match in Ljubljana.
“It remains an exciting group, and we have not achieved anything yet,” said coach Franco Foda cautiously, after Thursday’s victory. The fact that the coach is careful will also have to do with a fairly substantial list of absent players. For a not too big football country like Austria, this is not so easy to catch. David Alaba will certainly not be there on Sunday.
