Scotland vs. Austria Tip & Quotes, 25.03.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
For Austria, the World Cup qualification starts on Thursday evening, 25.03.2021 at 20:45 in Scotland in the Hampden Park in Glasgow. The Bravehearts didn’t have a bad 2020 season, but played promotion to League A in the last two Nation League matches. However, the UK’s biggest success was qualifying for the upcoming European Championship this summer through the playoff games. Despite the corona crisis, the ÖFB team was well on its way last year and even celebrated promotion to League A in the Netherlands. The World Cup qualifying group is completed by the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Israel and Moldova.

Steve Clarke’s national team looks back on a good international year 2020. The first four group games in the Nations League resulted in a strong 10 points – two victories against the Czech Republic (2:1, 1:0) and the 1:0 home win against Slovakia were the three victories from six games. In the last two group games, however, the British still lost first place and promotion, as Slovakia and Israel lost 0-1 each.
Things went much better for the Clarke elf in the playoff games against Israel in the semi-finals and Serbia in the final. At the last meters and via the detour Playoff, the Bravehearts secured one of the few remaining EM tickets. Both games were won by Scotland after a penalty shootout and thus had the luck on their side. After five missed European Championships rounds, the joy on the island was of course huge.
It looks similar at World Championships. Scotland last played a World Cup in France in 1998 and missed the following five final rounds. Now the same result is to be achieved after the World Cup qualification as at the end of last year with the successful EM qualification.
The Scottish national team has slowly but surely evolved from a grey mouse to a good team. Meanwhile, the national squad is once again home to players with an international class – Che Adams (Southampton), Ryan Fraser (Newcastle), John McGinn (Aston Villa), Scott McTominay (Manchester United), Captain Andrew Robertson (Liverpool FC) and Kieran Tierney (Arsenal London) all play in the best league in the world, the English Premier League.

The alpine kickers celebrated promotion to the A-League in the NL and lost only their home game against Romania during the group stage (2-3). Franco Foda’s national team celebrated the most victories away – Norway (2:1), Northern Ireland (1:0) and Romania (1:0). The fourth victory in the Nations League was in the home game against Northern Ireland (2-1). Thus, the ÖFB-Elf pushed the closest chasers with Norway and Romania just behind them and won group B1.
At the European Championships this summer, the red-white reds will be present and will meet the Netherlands, Ukraine and North Macedonia during the group phase. At THE EURO 2016 in France, Austria disappointed with ten victories from ten games in the preliminary round against neighbouring Hungary (0:2), Portugal (0:0) and Iceland (1:2).
After five unsuccessful attempts at a World Cup, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should finally work out again. Together with Scotland, the ÖFB-Elf is the strongest team in the qualifying group and should have a really good chance of being on the big stage next year. Most recently they were present in France in 1998, but even after the preliminary round they had to paint the sails without victory.
The Austrian national team is packed with players from the German Bundesliga. 17 players are in the squad, but one of them will not be injured (Martin Hinteregger from Eintracht Frankfurt). The stars in the ÖFB team are David Alaba (Bavaria Munich), Xaver Schlager (VFL Wolfsburg) and Marcel Sabitzer (RB Leipzig). Particular attention will be paid to Stuttgart’s attacker Sasa Kalajdzic, who has scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga almost every weekend in recent weeks and months.

We expect a balanced international match between Scotland and Austria to start the World Cup qualification. Both national teams are well positioned and have quality in the squad. The home advantage for the Bravehearts could make up for the greater experience on the part of the ÖFB-Elf.
