Austria Vienna conducted seven games in this season. The team knocked out AEL Limassol 0:0, 2:1 in the Eurocups, while took successful start in the OFB Cup and settles on the seventh place in the table with four points gained after four rounds. The side comes up to the upcoming encounter with three-clash undefeated streak.
Osijek and Austria Vienna have never met before. Last round Croatians sensationally broke Dutch PSV and with all respect to the Austrians, they are weaker comparing to the previous Osijek's opponent. And it means that the momentum is going with the hosts, besides, the Croatians lost only once in 11 games of this season, thus, they should prolong their lucky run in face of their fans.
Prediction for the match: Osijek to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
