Austria Prediction – Can Austria break into top two?
After a rocky start to their Euro 2020 campaign which saw them suffer early back-to-back defeats in Group G, Austria have since bounced back with an impressive 4-match sequence without defeat which has lifted them to within striking distance of the top two nations in the group, Poland and Slovenia.
Losses to Poland 1-0 at home and a heavy 4-2 defeat away from home at tonight’s opponents, Israel had threatened Austria’s credentials as one of the favourites to qualify for next year’s Euro 2020 finals, but the hosts have since bounced back in style.
3 wins from their last 4 matches in the group against Slovenia 1-0 at home, a crushing 4-1 victory at North Macedonia and an equally emphatic 6-0 home win against Latvia have thrust Austria back into the reckoning for a top two finish, along with a promising point in a 0-0 draw away at group leaders, Poland.
However, the prices on Austria are way too low considering they’re up against one of the teams that have inflicted defeat upon them already in this campaign, as well as facing an Israel outfit that possess the leading goalscorer in these group stages.
Israel Prediction – Can Israel overhaul Austria?
Israel’s Euro 2020 campaign to date has resulted in winning, drawing and losing in equal measure as the visitors occupy 5th place and possess a total points haul of 8 points but find themselves just 2 points adrift of tonight’s hosts, Austria, so all three points in this encounter would see Israel overtake their hosts in the group placings.
The visitors made a solid and impressive start to their Euro 2020 campaign though with a point in a 1-1 draw at home with dark horses, Slovenia, and then followed that up with back-to-back wins against Austria 4-2 at home and a 3-0 win away from home at rock-bottom, Latvia.
However, Israel have earned just 1 point from their subsequent 3 matches in Group G which was thanks to a 1-1 draw away home with North Macedonia, but defeats either side of that draw to Poland 4-0 and 3-2 to Slovenia have dented their hopes of a top two finish.
Having registered just 2 away wins out of their last 9 matches on their travels, this task at Austria looks a tall order for the visitors, but they possess leading goalscorer, Zahavi (9 goals) in their attacking ranks, so they can’t be ignored here.
Key-Facts – Austria v Israel
- Austria have won 3 of their last 4 matches in Group G
- Israel have won just 2 of their last 9 away matches in all competitions
- Israel won the last meeting between these two teams, 4-2
Betting Tips Verdict
An Austria win is priced too low but both teams stand a decent chance of scoring here, so both teams to score at good odds is the play here.
