Austria national team take on the visitors Wales in the round 2 match of qualification for the World Cup 2016. The match will be played Ernst Happel Stadion (Vienna) on Thursday, October 6th.
Austria failed at Euro-2016 after winning their qualifying group, finishing fourth with 1 point gained in three matches. The qualification for the World Cup started with 2-1 win at Georgia, but showed low level of football and could’ve lost points in that match. Austria need support of home fans to recover from bitter results of Euro-2016 and return to the level they showed before European championship in France. Austria show quite average results in 2016, taking three wins, one draw and suffering four defeats.

Wales, in turn, showed phenomenal results at Euro-2016, advancing for the semifinal of the tournament. The start of the new qualifying camping was also successful for them as they took 4-0 win over Moldova on matchday 1. So, the winner of the matchup will take the lead in the group and leave the main contenders behind. Bale and Co won five out of their recent seven matches, losing only to England, 1-2, and to the winners of Euro-2016, Portugal, 0-2.
Austria and Wales national team have played five head-to-heads in their history. Three of these matches ended with wins of the hosts and two times Wales were the stronger side. Austria are strong as a team while Wales have impressive Bale so we should expect to see at least couple of goals in this game.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals.
