Austria vs Cyprus Prediction & Expert Tips

Austria vs Cyprus Preview

Austria have been in impressive form lately, recording five wins, two draws, and just one defeat in their last eight matches. Their most recent victory came against San Marino, a 4-0 win highlighted by a Marko Arnautovic brace, complemented by goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Christoph Baumgartner.

Ralf Rangnick’s side will look to replicate this performance when they host Cyprus, aiming to maintain momentum and confidence. Austria are unbeaten in their last five home matches, winning three and drawing two, demonstrating cohesion, tactical discipline, and the ability to control games effectively against various opponents.

Meanwhile, Cyprus are struggling for form, having lost 2-0 to Romania in their recent fixture, extending their winless streak to three matches. With one win and two defeats in their opening World Cup qualifying campaign, Coach Akis Mantzios will be eager for his team to bounce back this weekend.

Qualifying for the World Cup would be a historic achievement for Cyprus, who have never reached the finals. However, their away record has been poor, they have failed to win any of their last five away games, losing four and drawing one, making their task even more difficult against a high-flying Austria side.

Austria vs Cyprus Prediction

Given the gap in quality and form, Austria are favourites to secure a straightforward victory. They are ranked 22nd in the FIFA world rankings, while Cyprus sit at 128th. Austria won their last two matches, while Cyprus have failed to win any of their last three, further tipping the scales in favour of the hosts.

We also expect goals at both ends. Austria will be looking to make it three wins from three in qualifying, continuing their strong start to the campaign. Cyprus, meanwhile, have failed to score in only one of their last fifteen games, showing they can create chances even against stronger opponents.

Considering recent results, this match promises to be an engaging contest with goals likely at both ends. Austria’s last nine matches have averaged 3.1 goals per game, reflecting their attacking style, while Cyprus’ last nine games have averaged 3.3 goals per game, demonstrating their openness and high-scoring potential in competitive fixtures.
