Austria hosts Moldova in round 10 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Monday, November 15th at Wörthersee Stadion (Klagenfurt)
Austria was able to win its group of the UEFA Nations League in 2020. This not only secured the Austrians a pass to Division A of the last draw but also allowed them to lock a spot in the playoffs for promotion to the World Cup. Therefore, one should not be surprised that they did not work like dogs in the standard qualification. They don't really worry because nothing is lost. Hence, perhaps, Franco Foda's charges suffered such defeats as 2-5 in Israel or 0-1 to Scotland at home. However, the Austrians were not bad at the Euro: they won not only against North Macedonia but also against Ukraine, and in the 1/8 finals, they fought with dignity with Italy. In the last round, Austria beat the Israelis with a 4-2 score, and it seems that Das Team decided to say goodbye to the fans with dignity before the break.

The Moldovans have long been regarded as outsiders of European football. Suffice it to say that last fall, they managed to score only one point in the Nations League in the games against Kosovo, Greece, and Slovenia. This "achievement" was repeated in the current World Cup qualification. And this happened back in the 1st round, when the national team of Moldova hosted the representatives of the Faroe Islands. Then there was a streak of defeats, diluted only with a 1-0 victory over Azerbaijan in a friendly summer match. In the previous round, Moldova couldn’t oppose anything to motivated Scotland, which was able to score a goal in each of the halves in Chisinau.
None of these teams have any particular motivation. But the difference in the class is huge, and one Alaba is probably more expensive than all his opponents. We bet on the victory of the Austrians with a handicap of -2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Austria to win with -2.5 handicap
