Republic of Ireland vs Austria: Nations League preview
The controversy surrounding Republic of Ireland’s game against Israel last Sunday understandably overshadowed a good performance on the pitch, as the Irish eased to a 3-0 win in which all three goals arrived in the first 25 minutes.
Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side now return to Dublin for their one true ‘home’ match of this batch of Nations League games, with Sunday’s scheduled return fixture against Israel moved to neutral ground in Serbia.
Ireland’s players must now try to refocus as they prepare to face the best team in the group and Hallgrimsson may decide to stick with a winning side at the Aviva Stadium, where they are unbeaten in eight games.
That record will be tested by an Austria outfit who scored six goals in their first two matches in Group B3, with six different players on the scoresheet.
Ralf Rangnick’s men have reached the knockout stages of three of the past four major tournaments but this version of Das Team is missing some of its most recognisable faces, with David Alaba not selected and Marcel Sabitzer taking a break from international duty.
Sunderland defender Kevin Danso is also absent through suspension, and with several more players out injured, this international window is an opportunity for some lesser-known members of Austria’s squad to stake a claim for their place.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Republic of Ireland 1-1 Austria
The Irish are strong at home, but Austria have the quality to leave Dublin with at least a point.
