Austria – Scotland

Austria and Scotland are set to continue their chase for a place in the World Cup next year when they square off at the Ernst Happel Stadion on Tuesday. The hosts head into the game on the back of a 5-2 humbling at the hands of Israel, while the visitors claimed a 1-0 win over Moldova.

Austria have a slight upper hand in the history of this fixture, claiming eight wins from 21 encounters in all competitions. Scotland have won two fewer games, while the spoils have been shared on seven different occasions.

Looking at past encounters between the two sides, we expect a cagey contest at the Ernst Happel Stadion. On paper, both sides are evenly matched, so the two sides could end up sharing the spoils on the night.
