Austria: Team News

The failure, done by Austria team at the Euro Cup 2016, called its team spirit and ambitions into doubt as having such a mighty squad selection, and not even once showed guts playing against Hungary, Iceland and Portugal in the group campaign. What should we think happened? Marcel Koller gathered the most potent players together in one squad, but they did not achieve a teamwork and looked like they all were playing for a different team. Ok, let's skip that chapter and go to the next one - coming World Cup in Russia. The Austrians initiated a good occasion for a successful promotion because their first game was won out in Gergia by the 2:1 score. Currently they share the direct promoting position with Wales, who are about to arrive pretty soon in Austria.

Wales: Team News

Wales national team, led by Chris Coleman, put a good start to claim up a place at the Russian World Cup reception, and fact is they might go so far for the very first time in its nation history. Particularly it is now quite possible if considering Wales's breakthrough in the Euro 2016 draw this summer. Good to see that they are still fit and never losing that shape. First victory in the World Cup qualifiers proves it: Moldova was severely beaten by Gareth Bale and Co. with 4:0 on the scoresheet.

Austria vs. Wales: Match Preview

We are in doubt so far about whether Austria managed to come around or still remains unbalanced as team, indeed. Of course, they both are now the holder of three points in their group, but everything might go wrong in case one fails and lose hold of the position. Nonetheless, we must take into consideration what we see now and what is clear. This is Wales, looking much stronger and craving to keep their story longer.
