Betting on Austria
Austria defeated the reigning European champions, Italy, in its last match in November, winning two in a row on that FIFA Calendar after failing to win in five previous matches. It did not perform well in the Nations League and was relegated to League B.
However, recent victories may have injected some confidence. This could be a big help in this match against one of the weakest teams in the group. The Austrian team has only one win in its last five home games and, in fact, was the only time it held its opponents scoreless in that period. In the seven matches prior to that win, there were goals from both sides regardless of the final score.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Heinz Lindner; Philipp Lienhart, David Alaba, Maximilian Wöber; Stefan Posch, Michael Gregoritsch, Nicolas Seiwald, Chukwubuike Adamu; Christoph Baumgartner, Marcel Sabitzer; Marko Arnautović.
Betting on Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan’s current form is good despite the fact that it is the underdogs of this match. It has won five straight victories under coach Gianni De Biasi, thus, it will arrive with a great confidence. However, like its rival, it has not been active in the last four months and that could affect its performance somewhat.
Azerbaijan finished the Nations League with three consecutive victories, which is proof enough of its improvement. Actually, this team was one win away from promotion to League B, as it only had a three-point difference with Kazakhstan. It lost only one of its last five challenges on foreign ground, completing the record with three wins and a draw. It only failed to win the games in which it was unable to score.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Emil Balayev; Hojjat Haghverdi, Bakhtiyar Hasanalizade, Bahlul Mustafazada, Azer Salahli; Richard Almeida, Emin Makhmudov, Mahir Emreli, Alexey Isayev, Ramil Sheydaev; Musa Qurbanlı.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Austria’s relegation to League B, its level is better than that of its opponents. Although Azerbaijan has grown significantly in recent years, the record is in favor of the local team. After four encounters between these two nations, three wins have gone to the Austrians, who have scored two goals or more in each of those victories.
That is why, at JefeBet, we predict a comfortable victory for the home team, who is undoubtedly the big favorite.
Prediction: Austria Moneyline (AUS 3-0 AZE).
