Rep. Of Ireland vs Austria Preview
The Republic of Ireland head into this fixture at the Aviva Stadium buoyed by a commanding 3-0 victory over Israel, a result that underlined their defensive resilience. Heimir Hallgrimsson's side have been unbeaten in eight home matches, keeping five clean sheets in Dublin during that run. With only one goal conceded across their last five outings, Ireland will fancy their chances of frustrating the group leaders on home soil.
Austria arrive in Dublin with a perfect record in this Nations League campaign, sitting top of Group B3 on six points. Ralf Rangnick's men dispatched both Israel and Kosovo by identical 3-1 scorelines, demonstrating considerable attacking firepower with six goals in two matches. That said, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six fixtures across all competitions, a vulnerability Ireland will look to exploit.
Austria arrive in Dublin with momentum firmly behind them, having claimed back-to-back 3-1 victories over Israel and Kosovo to sit atop Group B3 on six points. That attacking output of six goals in two matches signals genuine quality going forward. Ireland's home record is formidable, unbeaten in eight at the Aviva with five clean sheets, yet Austria's superior firepower and current form tilt the balance. The draw or away double chance represents the strongest angle here.
Defensively, Austria have not kept a clean sheet in their last six outings across all competitions, which suggests Ireland could find the net. That makes both teams to score at 1.91 an appealing secondary pick. Ireland conceded just once in five matches before this fixture, but Austria's relentless attacking rhythm should test even the most organised backline at some stage during proceedings.
The core selection remains the X2 outcome, backed by Austria's away price at 2.05 offering value given their six-point, six-goal start to the group. Ireland will be competitive, but Ralf Rangnick's side possess the quality to avoid defeat. Under 2.5 goals at 1.77 also merits consideration given Ireland's defensive record, though Austria's scoring habits could push the total higher. Odds correct at time of publication.
