At 02:45 GMT on September 8, the sixth round of the World Cup European qualifiers will start with Austria's home match against Scotland. Austria suffered a 5-2 victory over Israel in the last round of the group stage, which had a certain impact on the psychology of Austrian players. On the other hand, Scotland took down their opponents in the last round of the tournament and put an end to Scotland's recent embarrassment, which has brought about a certain rebound in the team's overall morale and status. Scotland is expected to come back from this match with a draw, which is a good result.
Austria has only one defeat in the Europa League, with a win over Ukraine and a draw against Italy, which shows that the Austrian team has a lot of potential. Austria has been able to score in the last two matches, and the individual ability of the players is not bad. However, Austria's ranking in the group stage is in a bit of a crisis, and now it is already 3 points behind the top two, and the situation of getting out of the group is precarious. And the team's defense performance in the last round of matches is very bad, this match against Scotland I believe that Austria's back line has a lot of hidden problems.
Scotland is undefeated in their past matches against Austria, and I believe this is a psychological boost for Scotland's players. Scotland also took down their opponents in the last round of the tournament to end their embarrassing record of not winning a single game in Europe. What is worrying is that the performance of Scotland's strikers is not very stable, as they failed to score in three of the past five matches.
