Dealt a huge blow in midweek, Northern Ireland were brought to their knees by a rampant Slovakia side, who sneaked a narrow victory past Norn Iron. With their European Championship hopes already dashed, Baraclough’s men are in a precarious situation.

They are also in horrendous form in the Nations League, rooted to the bottom of Group B1, and in real danger of getting relegated to League C. To stay above relegation waters, Northern Ireland need a win in this fixture, whilst hoping for a Romania collapse to Norway.

Austria vs Northern Ireland Team News

Amongst a host of mid-range European teams, Austria are looking to make the step up to the elite League A to challenge the continent’s heavyweights. Taking a look at their squad, Das Team have more than enough ammunition to give top teams a run for their money.

Leading the line in Group B1, Austria have garnered a whopping nine points from their opening four games to place themselves in a commanding position for qualification. However, they will need to keep performance levels up to hold onto that top-spot.

Norway are in sensational form at the moment, level on points with Foda’s charges and blowing hot on their tails. Austria will need to be wary of this formidable side that have plunged 11 goals in the competition, whilst conceding just four.

In international friendly action against Luxembourg on Wednesday, Das Team roared to an emphatic 3-0 victory – the likes of Trauner, Grbic and Wiesinger getting on the scoresheet. With this, Austria are now on a four-game winning run across all competitions.

They are threatening to extend that amazing streak with another positive result against floundering Northern Ireland on the weekend. The Green and White Army have been through the wringer this year, and are very low on confidence.

As they prepared for the Euro playoffs against Slovakia, Baraclough must have been confident about his side’s chances at qualification. Having gone behind in the first-half, a late rally from Northern Ireland saw them draw level on 87 minutes.

However, the game was put beyond them through Duris’ extra-time strike – one that ended their hopes of appearing in the European Championship. In the Nations League, they are rock-bottom with only one point to their name.

Austria vs Northern Ireland Predictions

Northern Ireland are in a rut, and it will take something off the charts to pull them out of relegation waters. Meanwhile, Austria have been the most efficient side in Group B1 but have found goals quite difficult to come by.

On the defensive front, Das Team have been outstanding, refusing to concede a goal in over 300 minutes. Surely, Northern Ireland are not getting any goals in this fixture. Feel free to wager an Austria win, counting on them to keep a clean sheet while at it.
