The 2022/23 Nations League continues this week as we enter the second round of group games, including the meeting between Austria and Denmark.
The match will be played at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Vienna and the hosts begin this round of fixtures top of the group on 3 points, with the visitors in second place on goal difference.
Austria come into the match on the back of an excellent 3-0 win at Croatia. It was the first game in charge for former Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick and he could not have asked for a better outcome.
Austria opened the scoring shortly before half time and added two goals in the space of 5 minutes early in the second half to secure maximum points.
That result means Austria are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. In addition to the win in Croatia, Austria have beat Israel and Moldova at home in World Cup qualifying and been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Scotland in a friendly match.
The only defeat in their last 5 games proved to be costly as Austria lost 2-1 at Wales in their World Cup qualifying playoff semi-final.
Trends show Austria have been difficult to beat in the Nations League and they have lost only 1 of their last 10 games. However, they have won only 2 of their 5 home fixtures in the competition, with both teams scoring in their last 3 on home soil.
Denmark make the trip to the Ernst-Happel-Stadion full of confidence following their impressive 2-1 win at France in their opening game of the 2022/23 Nations League.
Having fallen a goal behind early in the second half, things did not look promising for the Danes but they struck back with a goal in the 68th minute and scored the winner with only 2 minutes remaining on the clock.
That result means Denmark have won 8 of their last 10 matches, with the only defeats coming at Scotland having already qualified for the World Cup and in a friendly against Netherlands.
In terms of the Nations League, Denmark have won 4 of their last 5 matches, with the wins coming over Iceland (twice), England, and France.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of Denmark’s last 5 away Nations League fixtures.
Team news and Austria could freshen things up by starting Christoph Baumgartner, Christopher Trimmel, and Michael Gregoritsch.
Denmark are likely to hand a start to Andreas Cornelius, who came off the bench to score twice in France. Mikkel Damsgaard and Mathias Jensen could also come into the starting XI.
The Danes will be feeling confident about this game and should come out on top against an Austria team who will also be buzzing following their win in Croatia. We expect to see over 2.5 goals scored and both teams scoring in what should be a good game to watch.
