Austria play host to Azerbaijan at their TGW Arena in the opening match of their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.
The Austrians did well to beat Italy in their last friendly, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash.
Fit-again forward Marko Arnautovic will lead the line for the hosts, while Real Madrid ace David Alaba is a major doubt after missing “El Clasico” with injury.
The Azeri, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Linz.
In their last meeting in a competitive match Austria crushed Azerbaijan 4-1, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Neftchi midfielder Emin Mahmudov, who has netted 14 goals in the Azerbaijan Premier League so far this season.
This match will be played on 24/03/2023 at 20:45
