Aron Wright - March 23, 2021

Scotland vs Austria
World Cup Qualification
Date: Thursday, 25 March 2021
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Hampden Park (Glasgow).

Scotland is ranked at the 48th place on FIFA rankings as it stands. In the meantime, Austria is slightly ahead of the host in the 23rd position in rankings. As such, expect an exciting open clash at Hampden Park for their opening match in WC qualifiers this term.

The host broke their nine-game unbeaten run in the schedule with a double loss last time out in UNL fixtures this season. Both their recent two defeats came away from home and with the same 1-0 score on the board for each. They will return home after a 1-0 loss on the road against Israel.

Unbeaten in the last six clashes in their overall form, Austria visits with hopes and just one draw in that lossless run across all major competitions. They will visit on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Norway in the last UNL fixture. The away team has a good chance to put the game to sleep.

Scotland vs Austria Head-to-head (h2h)

• Only three of their last ten matches have ended in a draw.
• Their previous encounter gave a 0-1 away win for Scotland.
• The visitor has recorded four of the last five overall wins.
• Both teams have scored in one of their recent five fixtures.
• The away team has won in one of their last six meetings.
• The host has lost one of their recent four clashes at home.

Scotland vs Austria Prediction

Scotland lost in their last two matches, which will bring down the morale of the players. This will hold them back from creating chances in the game. On the contrary, Austria has won in five of their last six clashes in their schedule. So, the double chance favoring Austria will probably be the best bet for the punters in the encounter.

Furthermore, their recent h2h meetings have seen at least a couple of goals in ninety minutes. They are likely to keep that average going on in the upcoming clash. Thus, the tip for over 1.5 goals will probably come in handy for the goals area to yield decent returns.

Scotland vs Austria Betting tips

• Over 1.5 goals @ 1.40 (2/5).

• Double chance: Draw or Austria @ 1.40 (2/5).
