Austria Preview – Will the Austrians pick up a home win?
Austria currently find themselves in fourth spot in Group F. They cannot finish in the top two, as Denmark have taken maximum points, while Scotland are seven points ahead with two games to go. However, they could still reach the play-offs through the Nations League route.
Overall, the Austrians have won three, lost four and drawn one of their eight qualifiers. Their top-two hopes were ended last month, as they lost 1-0 in Denmark, while the Scots picked up a 1-0 victory in the Faroe Islands.
Austria end their campaign with two home games. After this one, they welcome Moldova to Klagenfurt next Monday. Can Franco Foda’s men sign off with six points? They are the 4/6 favourites on Friday.
Israel Preview – Can the Israelis take it to the final day?
Willi Ruttensteiner’s Israel have been the surprise package in World Cup qualifying Group F. Not many people had them down to finish in the top two, but they still have a chance in the final batch of fixtures.
The Israelis are four points behind second-place Scotland with two games to play. The Scots face the Danes in their final group match, while Israel host Faroe Islands. If results go their way this Friday, Israel could be in a great position to nick second spot on the final day.

Austria vs Israel Betting Advice
Israel were sensational when these two nations locked horns at the Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa two months ago. Goals from Eran Zahavi (2), Manor Soloman, Munas Dabour and Sean Weissman earned the home side a memorable 5-2 win. Israel also won 4-2 on home soil against the Austrians in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier back in March 2019.
Key Facts – Austria vs Israel Betting Tip
- Austria cannot finish in the top two
- Israel have won half of their Group F matches
- There were seven goals scored in the reverse meeting in Haifa
Israel wiped the floor with Austria in the game in Haifa, and we fancy the Israelis to do the double over the Austrians on Friday. It may not be enough to prolong their top-two ambitions, but back the away team to get the win at the top price of 17/4.
PSV Eindhoven man Eran Zahavi has had a campaign to remember, scoring a staggering eight goals in Group F. Only Memphis Depay has netted more during qualification. Zahavi, who scored twice in the reverse fixture, is available at 6/1 to net the opening goal of this game.
