Austria v Tunisia Prediction
Austria to win to nil @ 5/4
Austria only reached the last 16 of Euro 2024, but Das Team's efforts in Germany will linger longer in memory than their finishing position.
Ralf Rangnick's men lost 2-1 to Turkey in the first knockout round, but they were comfortably the better side in that contest and Austria may well have gone a lot further in the competition had the Crescent-Stars not grabbed an extremely fortunate success.
It's worth remembering that Das Team topped a group containing France, the Netherlands and Poland at Euro 2024, and it was more than just those results that impressed.
Austria have a clear identity and style under Rangnick and their coaching and togetherness shines brighter than their individual talents.
There is quality in the squad, with Christoph Baumgartner an excellent forward player and Konrad Laimer and Kevin Danso good defenders, but the structure and playing style Rangnick has implemented are more valuable for Austria's performances.
Tunisia cruised through their CAF qualifying section, winning nine of their 10 games and not conceding a single goal.
That's an impressive effort, but Namibia, Liberia, Malawi, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome and Príncipe are hardly taking opposition.
The Eagles of Carthage were beaten by Mali in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, a result that cost former manager Sami Trabelsi his job.
Tunisia scored just one goal in their three matches at the 2022 World Cup and that's a clear indication of the lack of attacking threat in Sabri Lamouchi's squad.
It's a fairly youthful Eagles of Carthage roster four years later, but Tunisia face a step up in class against Austria and the home win to nil appeals.
Alternative Bet - Marcel Sabitzer to score @ 2/1
Marcel Sabitzer scored three goals in Austria's eight World Cup qualifiers and the Borussia Dortmund man also notched in March friendlies against Ghana and South Korea.
The 32-year-old is a key attacking threat for Das Team, hitting 3.08 shots and 2.05 shots on target per 90 minutes in the qualifiers.
Sabitzer was on penalty-taking duty in the 5-1 success over Ghana and that could be a further boost to the former Manchester United man's chances of finding the net against Tunisia.
A high-tempo and attacking approach is almost guaranteed under Rangnick and Sabitzer is a bet to get on the scoresheet.
Austria v Tunisia Bet Builder Tip
Under three goals
Austria over four corners
Marko Arnautovic to score
Pays 6/1
Austria should be too strong for a Tunisia side who look flattered by their qualifying campaign.
The Eagles of Carthage have failed to score more than one goal in any of their last four games, and Lamouchi's side's defence-first approach suggests this will be a slow burner.
Das Team have hit at least four corners in each of their last three games and they should get above that mark in a home contest that they are likely to dominate.
Marko Arnautovic remains his country's key attacker. He is Austria's all-time leading scorer with 47 goals and could boost his tally in Vienna after netting eight times in qualifying.
