Wales Austria betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match tends to be intense as it is a face off between two teams that need to win in order to keep fighting for a place the 2018 World Cup. In 6 of the last 8 home matches for all the competitions Wales scored and conceded goals, while in 6 of the last 7 matches as away team for all competitions both teams scored goals. Given these factors, we believe in a game with good offensive volume of the two teams, several goal opportunities  and both teams should score at least one goal.

Preview
Wales and Austria meet at Cardiff City Stadium, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Wales

After 1 win and 5 draws, the home team is currently in the 3rd position, with 8 points won. In the last match, they have tied (1‑1) in an away match against Serbia, after in the previous round they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against Republic of Ireland. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 11 conceded. Wales has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches.

They have tied the last 5 matches and haven't lost any of the last 6 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Wales has been presenting an average performance in the play-offs, and although they have not lost a single match so far, they have tied 5 consecutive matches and are already 4 points behind the two top placed in the group (Serbia and Ireland), so a win in the next match is essential in the run for a place in the 2018 World Cup. The team is characterized by a reasonable attack that has scored 9 goals and is the second most positive of Group D, while the defense has conceded 5 goals and is the second less leaked, showing a good balance between the offensive and defensive, although the attack can improve to score more frequently. Wales registers 3 home matches for the qualifying round and accumulated 1 win and 2 draws, with an average of 2 goals scored and 0.67 goals conceded, showing that both defense and attack usually work well when playing at home. In general, taking into account all 6 matches played, the team used to score more often in the first half, as 6 of their 9 goals were scored in this period, especially between (30 - 45)', when 4 goals occurred.

Confirmed Lineup: Wayne Hennessey, Chris Gunter, Ashley Williams, James Chester, Jazz Richards, Ben Davies, Aaron Ramsey, David Edwards, Tom Lawrence, Gareth Bale, Sam Vokes, Joshua Andrew Harrop.

Analysis Austria

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match agaisnt Moldova by (2‑0). In the last round, they have tied an away match against Republic of Ireland by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 7 away matches Austria has won 3, tied 2 and lost 2.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 6 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Austria has the same score as its next opponent, they are 4 points from the first place that gets direct access to the World Cup and have this head-to-head as essential in their fight to reach the Russian Cup. The team scored 9 goals, being the second best attack in their group, and conceded 8 goals, having the third defense more leaked, which shows a certain imbalance between the offensive and defensive sectors, being most important to adjust the defense in order to suffer less goals. Austria has played 3 away games in the play-offs and accumulate 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat, having an average of 1.67 goals scored and 1.67 goals conceded, evidencing reasonable strength away from their stadium. In the whole qualifying round, counting the matches at home and away, the team tends to be more efficient offensively in the first half, since 5 of their 9 goals were scored in the first period, especially between (15 - 30)' , when 3 goals occurred.

Confirmed Lineup: Heinz Lindner, Aleksandar Dragović, Sebastian Prödl, Martin Hinteregger, Stefan Lainer, David Alaba, Stefan Ilsanker, Julian Baumgartlinger, Marcel Sabitzer, Marko Arnautović, Martin Harnik.
Coach: R. Rangnick.
