The UEFA Nations League is heating up as Austria prepares to face Kazakhstan at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz, Austria. The match, scheduled for October 10, 2024, at 18:45 UTC, promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with contrasting recent forms.
Austria's Struggles Continue
Austria has had a slow start to the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. They suffered a 2-1 defeat against Norway on September 9 and a 1-1 draw against Slovenia on September 6. This follows a string of seven Nations League games without a win, with five losses and two draws since their last victory over Croatia in June 2022.
Kazakhstan's Recent Form
Kazakhstan, on the other hand, has shown resilience in their recent matches. They have gone unbeaten in eight of their last 10 UEFA Nations League matches, claiming five wins and three draws since March 2022. However, they have struggled away from home, losing all but one of their last seven away games across all competitions.
Head-to-Head History
This will be the fifth meeting between Austria and Kazakhstan. Ralf Rangnick's men have a slight edge, having won two of the last four matches and drawn two. Kazakhstan are looking to break their losing streak against Austria, who have failed to win their previous four meetings since September 2010.
Prediction and Betting Tips
Given the current form of both teams, many are predicting an Austrian victory. Sportskeeda suggests that Austria could secure all three points with a 3-1 win, citing their recent struggles and Kazakhstan's away form. Additionally, both sides are expected to score, as there have been three or more goals in four of Austria's last five games.
