Match Preview
This group is highly competitive, with three teams—Austria, Slovenia, and Norway—vying for first place, each with 7 points with two games remaining.
Currently, Austria holds second place, trailing Norway on goal difference, while Slovenia is in third. Austria cannot afford to drop points against Kazakhstan if they want to stay in contention for the top spot.
Austria’s last international break was particularly successful. They first thrashed Kazakhstan 4-0 at home, then surprised Norway with a decisive 5-1 victory. Previously, Austria had lost to Norway 1-2 and drawn 1-1 with Slovenia.
Kazakhstan entered this group as the underdog but managed a surprising draw against Norway (0-0) in the opening match. Since then, they have suffered three consecutive defeats without scoring a goal, including losses to Austria (0-4) and Slovenia (0-1) in the last break.
Possible Lineups
- Kazakhstan: Shatsky; Bystrov, Alip, Marochkin, Vorogovskiy; Tagybergen, Darabayev; Zainutdinov, Islamkhan, Samorodov; Aimbetov
- Austria: Pentz; Posch, Danso, Linhart, Mwene; Seiwald, Laimer; Schmid, Baumgartner, Sabitzer; Arnautović
Kazakhstan vs Austria prediction
Austria is the clear favorite, but after a demanding journey, they may not score as many goals. My prediction is Under 3.5 goals.
