Denmark vs Austria Predictions

• Denmark are on a run of 10 wins in 11 home games
• Austria have only won three of their last eight away fixtures
• Denmark have won seven of their eight meetings with Austria since 1988

Denmark poised to bounce back

A surprise 1-0 defeat against Croatia on Monday night saw Denmark’s 100% start to the Nations League come to an end, a run that included a 2-1 win in Austria earlier this month.

That was also a first home loss for Kasper Hjulmand’s side in 12 games, halting a 10 match winning streak in its tracks, when Sweden, Serbia and Iceland had all been sent packing empty handed.

The Danes also have an incredibly strong record against Austria, who they have beaten four times in a row since 2010 and never lost to in a competitive match.

Austria searching for consistency

Austria on the other hand have not won back-to-back games this calendar year, picking up just four points from their opening three Nations League games, including a 1-1 home draw with France on Friday.

Ralf Rangnick’s side struggled away from home before his arrival, losing 5-2 to Israel, 1-0 to Denmark and 2-1 to Wales in World Cup qualifying since Euro 2020.

Indeed, until defeating Croatia earlier this month, they had not beaten a side in the top-2o of the FIFA world rankings since 2018.

I predict that Denmark will win this game, but it could be a tight one, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
