Austria v Wales Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifying 6th October
Wales head out on the road on Thursday night for their second World Cup 2018 qualification match. Things got off to a very bright start for them with a comprehensive 4-0 drubbing of Moldova, but they will face a much stiffer test this time around. Austria were superb through their Euro 2016 qualification campaign and will be hoping to reproduce that kind of form to reach World Cup 2018. The Austrians opened with a 2-1 win over Georgia away from home and will now be looking to drive home some momentum on home soil to take early control of Group D. But can Wales strike what could be a hugely important win away from home?

Austria v Wales Betting Tips
This should be a great match up between these two. Austria stated qualification for the 2018 World Cup on a positive note, beating Georgia away from home. During Euro 2016 qualifying, Austria were really one of the big highlights. That all came unravelled at Euro 2016 itself, but if they get back to their qualification mode, then they will be fancied here. However, since qualifying for Euro 2106 they have certainly gone off the boil, going just W3 D1 L5 in their last nine games. They have also failed to hit the back of the net in three of their last five games a well and with just a W1 D1 L3 record in their most recent five games, they look as if they have a way to get back to their best. The win over Georgia was a start though. Austria haven’t looked that sharp at the back for a while now, and therefore it could be wourth backing Both Teams To Score for a price of even money with online betting site Bet365.
You can go and have a crack at the game going over 2.5 goals which is a price of 5/4. It may be worth expecting goals at both ends because these aren’t’ the two greatest defences in the world of course. The last time that these two came together, Wales produced a 2-1 win, sending the game over the 2.5 goal line. That was a February 2013 friendly and with Austria’s last two games being settled by a 2-1 scoreline, it could be worth a flutter on Austria 2-1 correct score at a price of 17/2. Austria last hosted Wales was back in World Cup 2006 qualifying and the Austrians won both of those meeting and didn’t concede a goal against Wales. Austria hold a W5 D1 L2 head to head record against the Welsh and up in the anytime goalscorer market, Marc Janko is a 13/8 shot with Marko Arnautovic at 5/2.
This could be an evenly balanced match up and Wales could need moments of inspiration from Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid man is a 13/10 quote in the anytime goalscorer market for the game. Wales crushed Moldova 4-0 at home in their opening World Cup 2018 qualifier, as was expected. This is a step up in level of competitiveness and need a solid defensive display out on the road. In Euro 2016 qualifying, Wales lost just the one game along the way, so know how to dig in. they won’t have the influential Aaron Ramsey available for this one though. Including their Euro 2016 campaign, Wales have now gone W5 D0 L2 record in their last seven. Their gritty defence was key in that run, and they can be backed at a quote of 5/4 in a Draw No Bet for this one ,as they have only scored in one of their last three against Austria.

Austria v Wales Predictions
This should be an even contest. Wales can battle with the best of them but can lack the firepower when it comes to away games. Austria meanwhile haven’t had the best of times at the back and could be vulnerable. A very balanced contest this should be and it may be worth looking at the draw in the match outright. Neither would be that unhappy with that you imagine. A 1-1 correct score could be worth a flutter.
