Austria is tied at the top of the table, with one game less than Bosnia in this qualifying round and three points less. Therefore, an away win, which we believe is possible, would give them the chance to take first place and qualify for the World Cup.
Everything hinges on this match, and we know it. In the end, the away team should come out on top. Of course, in this article, we don’t really care about the final result. What interests us is finding out which players are likely to score or be decisive with their shots on goal. In short, the ones who make us cheer. And we have our ideas. Let’s see who they are.
Bosnia-Austria predictions: our picks
He left Inter and Italy this summer. But Arnautovic continues to play and remains a starter for this team. Up front, he is also the most likely to score, especially since the visiting team plays with a single striker and three supporting players. Furthermore, in the event of a penalty kick, he would be the one to take it from eleven meters.
Sabitzer could and should score at least one goal on target, as he plays further forward for his national team. Similarly, on the other side, there is Dzeko, a strong striker who is still too strong despite no longer being young, who has what it takes to find the net at least once. These choices seem to us to be very consistent with what will be the tactical theme of the match and with Austria’s desire to set things right in this group.
