Match prediction
Northern Ireland disappoints in the Nations League – O’Neill’s team has lost all three matches and has taken the last place.
Especially badly today the hosts are playing in attack which has scored only one goal for three matches.
Austria has four points but the effectiveness is the same– one goal in three matches.
Bearing in mind the problems of the teams with effectiveness and also the closed gaming style of the hosts, it is possible to assume that we won’t see a lot of scored goals.
