Austria v Scotland Friendly Betting Tips
I have had a look at the Austria v. Scotland friendly in Vienna tonight
and fancy the Austrians to win in a tight game.
Austria are co hosting Euro 08 with Switzerland so have only friendlies to
play before the event starts.
Their friendly record this season has been a mixed bag and reads:
Austria 1 Hungary 2 (Home)
Austria 2 Costa Rica 2 (Neutral)
Austria 0 Venezuela 1 (Nuetral)
Liechtenstein 1 Austria 2 (Away)
Austria 2 Switzerland 1 (Home)
Austria 4 Trinidad & T 1 (Home)
Malta 1 Austria 1 (Away)
Austria 1 Ghana 1(Home)
France 1 Austria 0 (Away)
So as you can see have not set the World alight but home advantage should
be enough tonight as Scotland have horrendous injury problems with Miller,
Pressley, Beattie all of Celtic missing along with Brown (Hibs), Anderson
(Aberdeen) McFadden (Everton), Teale and McEveley (Derby)so are really
down to the bare bones, and their focus will be on the trip to the Faroe
Islands next week in their Euro 08 qualifier.
The last thing Alex McLeish needs is more injuries though the majority of
players listed above should be fit for the Faroes game.
The Scots are 2nd in their group behind Ukraine but ahead of France on
goal difference and 2 points ahead of Italy in what for me is the toughest
qualifying group that also contains Lithuania,Georgia and the Faroes.
So i am going for an Austrian win given the fact that the Scots will have
one eye on their next game and the fact that any squad would miss the
amount of players Scotland have unavailable.
Good luck and happy Punting
