Austria vs Sweden Predictions

• Austria are unbeaten in five matches, winning four and drawing the other against Belgium
• Sweden have lost six of their last seven competitive away matches
• The last two meetings between the two sides have ended in wins for Austria

Hosts can edge closer to Euros

After a sticky start to life as Austria head coach, Ralf Rangnick appears to have found his feet, with his side unbeaten in five matches, registering four wins and a draw.

Wins over Azerbaijan and Estonia, as well as Friday’s draw away to group favourites Belgium, has left Austria sitting top of their qualifying section, four points clear of Sweden in third, although they are yet to register a clean-sheet in the group.

Sweden have lost one, won one in qualifying to date, but their record away from home in competitive internationals is poor to say the least, as they have lost six of their last seven such matches, going down to the likes of Greece and Georgia during that time.

Recent history favours Austria

Austria will be chasing a third win on the bounce against Sweden, although they have struggled for clean-sheets when facing their Scandinavian opponents, as they have kept just one across the last seven encounters between the two sides.

Given Austria won but conceded in their recent home clashes with Azerbaijan and Estonia, Sweden, who boast the likes of Newcastle forward Alexander Isak in attack, will expect to get one the scoresheet on Tuesday, but that could be as good as it gets for Janne Andersson’s poor travellers.
