Northern Ireland vs. Austria Tip & Quotes, Oct 11, 2020 – 08:45 PM
Northern Ireland will receive Austria on Sunday evening, 11.10.2020 at 20:45 at the Windsor Park in Belfast on the 3rd day of the Nations-League-Group B1. In the last NL group game at home against Norway, the Northern Irish came under the wheels and are last in the group with only one counter. The alpine kickers also suffered a home defeat and were somewhat surprisingly defeated by Romania. The Foda elf is in third place with three points and cannot afford another bankruptcy in Northern Ireland, otherwise you are in last place and there is even the risk of relegation to the C-League. Two years ago, both teams were already in an NL group. At that time, Austria won both games against the boys in Green.

The national team of Ian Baraclough and guests from Norway scored a wild start with three goals. The Scandinavians led Elyounoussi 1-0 in the second minute. On the opposite side, the Northern Ireland equalised again four minutes later by McNair (6th). In return BVB star Haaland scored 2-1 for the guests (7th). After that the game calmed down a bit until Sörloth scored 3-1 for Norway (19th). Not much happened after that, which is why the 2-1 went into the half-time. In the second period of the game, it was almost as fast back to the full as it was in the first round. Sörloth scored the preliminary 4-1 for the Scandinavians shortly after the start of the season (47th). When Haaland scored 5:1 (58th) after just under an hour, the international match was decided. A highly deserved win for Norway against weak boys in Green.
On the 1st day of the game, the Baraclough elf was able to score a 1-on-1 goal in the Nations League in Romania before there was a home debacle against Norway. Already the first season in the new NL competition was a horror show for the island kickers. The four bankruptcies of four group games against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Austria would have actually brought Northern Ireland into the C-League. However, by increasing the leagues, the boys in Green were spared the relegation.
Last year, Northern Ireland finished third behind Germany and Holland in the European Championships qualification and now has the chance to solve the European Championships ticket in the European Championships playoffs. Opponent is Bosnia-Herzegovina this Thursday (result not yet available). Therefore, the Northern Ireland can also be expected to spare its best players against Austria.
There are no real stars in the Northern Ireland National Squad. The highest quality can be found in the defensive with Jonny Evans (Leicester City) and Jamal Lewis (Newcastle United). Steven Davis (Glasgow Rangers) leads the national team on the field as captain.

The ÖFB-Elf missed the initial stage against Romania and was already 0-1 behind in the 3rd minute by Alibec’s goal. On the other hand, however, the home team were able to quickly achieve the 1:1 and put everything at the beginning (17th, Baumgartner). With the 1:1 it also went into the half-time. After the change of sides, the guests struck again quickly and went through Grigore 2-1 in the front (51st). Franco Foda’s national team failed to equalise this time. Instead Maxim increased for the Romanians to 3:1 (69.). Austria scored again in the final period with the goal from Onisowo for a 2-3 goal in the 80th minute. However, the favourite alpine kickers were no longer able to compensate.
The Foda elf was unable to gild the 2-1 victory in Norway in the opening match and lost completely unnecessarily at home against Romania. As a result, the ÖFB team was now under pressure not to lose pressure again. Two years ago in the first NL season, only second place was enough with seven points from four international matches. With this, Austria missed promotion to the A-League and had to let Bosnia go.
This Wednesday’s friendly against Greece in its own four walls was a 2-1 success. Despite the deficit by Fortounis (63rd), Austria still turned the game and still won through the goals of Adrian Grbic (77th) and Christoph Baumgartner (80th).
The 2019 European Championship Qualification was successful. Behind Poland, Austria finished in second place (six, victories, a draw, three defeats) and participated in the 2021 European Championships final round. So far, Holland and Ukraine have been firmly opposed to the EURO as a group.
National coach Franco Foda has already scored ten rejections for the next two international games in the Nations League. The latest is from LASK defense chief Gernot Trauner (gastrointestinal disease). China legionary Marko Arnautovic (travelling stress) as well as Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer and Valentino Lazaro have been injured for a long time and will also fail. In addition, Alexander Schlager, Cican Stankovic, Philipp Lienhart, Marco Friedl and Andreas Ulmer will not be in the national team.

We don’t see a favorite in the Nations-League game between Northern Ireland and Austria. Both teams have lost their last game in the NL and are under pressure. To do this, the ÖFB team has to do without many regular players and does not travel to the island with the A-Team. The Boys in Green will pay more attention to the task against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the first leg of the European Championships (first leg this Thursday) than to the games against Austria. Accordingly, it can be expected that many regular players will be spared in this game. We’re tapping on a score split in Belfast with little to no goals. In our opinion, the best choice for this tip forecast is the Under 2.5 Goals bets. The betting tip wins if there are no more than 2 goals in the total in the match. Online betting providers have betting odds of around 1.60 to 1.66 on average.
