Austria Insights.

Group-toppers Austria (FIFA Rank: #25) will look to keep up their UEFA Nations League (UNL) promotion push with another victory here (W3, L1) as they welcome all-but relegated Northern Ireland (#41). In their favour, is an impressive run of three straight international clean sheets coming into this clash. Austria boss Franco Foda has won all three prior H2Hs with N.Ireland by a single-goal margin, each of which saw his side score first but also contained a goalless half. Furthermore, Austria are unbeaten in 17 of their last 23 games vs UEFA nations ranked within ten places of N.Ireland (W11, D6, L6); seven of those 11 victories ended 1-0, whilst 16 games produced under 2.5 goals.

Northern Ireland Insights.

Visiting N.Ireland must win to retain a slim chance of survival come final matchday, and a victory would likely take away some of the pain of losing their EURO play-off final in extra-time. However they’ve not scored in 264 minutes of UNL action since their equaliser in a HT/FT 5-1 hammering at the hands of Norway. Topically, N.Ireland have failed to win 13 of their last 15 clashes with UEFA nations ranked within ten places of Austria (W2, D3, L10) with the away record across those games standing at: W1, D2, L7. Moreover, N.Ireland failed to score in eight of those ten away games, with the most common scoreline being a 1-0 defeat (4/10).
