Austria vs Denmark Prediction, Odds, Preview

The derby of the Group F of the Europe World Cup qualifiers takes place in Vienna, where Austria meets Denmark. These two teams are topping the table after opening two rounds, and many expect to see the same at the end of the competition. The only enigma is who will win the assembly. Tonight’s game could give us an answer on that as well. The clash between the Austrian and the Danish team is the derby of this group, and both teams enter the same with high hopes, fired up after solid performances in the recent few weeks.

Preview

Austria (+190) is a slight underdog in this match, even though they played well over lately. The Boys, as the fans call them, have just one loss (in UEFA Nations League against Romania) and two draws over the latest 10 games. All other matches were victories.

One of the draws was at the start of the qualifiers in Scotland, 2-2. It was a wild match that saw four goals in the second 45 minutes, with the Austrians leading twice and the guests coming back on both occasions.

Overall, Austria was solid against the team that will participate at the next EURO, which gives hope before tonight’s game. They were controlling the ball better and had more possession but not being able to protect their net in the game’s key moments. What is important to say is that the last 7 games Austria played at home saw both teams to score.

Denmark (+145) lost only to Belgium twice in the past 10 games, posting excellent results in the meantime. Danes beat England at Wembley, played without goals with Three Lions at home, routed Iceland twice, Sweden and Israel. So we need to respect their results, which is probably why the bookmakers made them the slight favorites.

Unlike Austria, Denmark opened the qualifiers with two wins, in Israel 0-2, and at home to Moldova, 8-0, boosting the morale ahead of this clash. They are a very tough side, that likes to play physical, aren’t accomodating to any opponent.

If you take a look at their recent results, you can see that just two games in the last 10 saw both teams to score, and that the Danes kept their net intact seven times during that period.

Head to Head

These two nations haven’t met often in the past. The previous two competitive matches were back in 1991 once they met in the EURO qualifiers. After that, there were two friendly internationals in 2010, when Austria beat Denmark, 2-1, and 2018, when Danes got their revenge winning 2-0.

Prediction

This will be an interesting and fun game to watch, because both games have a similar quality, yet they play a completely different football. Austrians are offensive-minded, while Denmark prefers to use a cautious gameplan. In our opinion, a draw is the most realistic result. Denmark comes to Vienna to keep one point, and we are pretty much sure that Austrians won’t risk too much but settle for a point as well.
