Austria Finland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel brings as protagonists two selections that are not among the great ones of the European soccer, which can be noticed by the performance of both in the Qualifiers, but still it is possible to perceive some difference between them. Austria has seven points in Group I, and there are still chances of qualifying, while Finland have a poor campaign and do not have many aspirations in the knockout round. In recent years, despite having more defeats than victories, Austria has still won more than Finland, which has a very bad offensive sector. So by playing at home and having a slightly better team, it's a good bet to bet in Austria victory.

In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got a home win against Moldova by (2‑0). In the last 10 home matches Austria has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Austria make their second appearance in 2017, but their first friendly, as it debuted that year with a game valid for the World Cup Qualifiers, with a victory that ended a fast that had lasted four games. Last year, the Austrian National team played 12 games, of which they won only three, two friendly and only one qualifying for the qualifiers. As principal, the Austrians failed to swing their opponents' net in four of their nine matches, scoring just nine goals in that period. For this game, the coach must keep the team in 3-4-2-1 or 4-2-3-1.

Confirmed Lineup: Heinz Lindner, Markus Suttner, Martin Hinteregger, Sebastian Prödl, Aleksandar Dragović, David Alaba, Valentino Lazaro, Zlatko Junuzović, Alessandro Schöpf, Marcel Sabitzer, Martin Harnik.
Coach: R. Rangnick.

Analysis Finland

The away team plays its 3rd friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Slovenia (2‑0) Finland and Morocco (0‑1) Finland. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got an away loss against Turkey by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Finland has won 1, tied 1 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Finland is on the pitch for their fourth match in 2017, which marks their third friendly, as only one of those matches was official, valid for the World Cup Qualifiers. This will be the fifth consecutive away game of Finland away from home, which has not scored goals for two matches, having only racked the net once in the last five games. In 2016, the Finns played eleven matches, including friendlies and games for the qualifiers, and failed to win any and to accumulate four consecutive defeats. That poor performance left the team in the Group I runner up of the knockout tournament. For this game, the manager should keep the team in the 4-4-2 or 3-5-1-1.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Jukka Raitala, Jere Uronen, Joona Toivio, Niklas Moisander, Paulus Arajuuri, Janne Saksela, Thomas Lam, Moshtagh Yaghoubi, Përparim Hetemaj, Teemu Pukki.
