Austria take on the visitors Ireland in the round 4 match of qualification for World Cup 2018. The match will be played on Saturday, November 12th.
Austria failed to meet high expectation this season. The team that confidently advanced for the Euro 2016, couldn’t show their best football in France and have slow start of the campaign to the World Cup 2018. The hosting side managed to gain only four points in three matches, taking tough win over Georgia, 21, drawing with Wales, 2-2, and losing to Serbia, 2-3. The team is only fourth in the group and have no right for mistakes if they want to battle for top-2.

Ireland didn’t show anything special in France this summer but managed to advance for the round of 16, which was already big achievement for the team. The visiting side is successful at the start of this qualification, taking seven points in three matches and sitting on the second place in the group. Martin O’Neil’s men took wins over Georgia and Moldova, 1-0 and 3-1 respectively, and drew with Serbia, 2-2.
The opponents met the eight times starting September 1963. Austria on five out of these matches, Ireland were victorious one time and two matchups ended with draws. The only win of Ireland was recorded exactly in their first match and Austria undefeated ever since. Home clash with such convenient opponents is a great opportunity for Austria to take first home win since the end of May.
Prediction for the match: Austria to win.
