Kazakhstan vs Austria Preview

  • Date: Thursday, November 14
  • Kick-off Time: 3:00 pm GMT
  • Venue: Ortalyq stadion, Kazakhstan

The action in the UEFA Nations League 2024/25 will resume this week with one of the fixtures being Kazakhstan vs Austria in the second tier of the competition. Austria is in second place in the group with seven points while Kazakhstan is struggling at the bottom on the back of just a single point from four matches. Kazakhstan and Austria are ranked 107 and 23 in the FIFA World Rankings respectively.

Kazakhstan’s recent form has been atrocious. The national team has suffered five defeats and a draw in its last six matches. Kazakhstan’s last victory goes all the way back to November of last year. The supporters have endured a hard time in the last 12 months but continue to back the players. Coach, Stanislav Cherchesov has his work cut out to get his squad back on winning ways. Kazakhstan will enter into the Austria match as the overwhelming underdogs.

Austria will be content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six outings, the national team has accumulated three victories accompanied by a draw and two defeats. Ralf Rangnick has done a commendable job in revolutionizing Austrian football. His style of high-pressing, quick, and vertical football has suited the players with the results reflecting the gameplan. The 2024 Euros in Germany was a successful campaign for Austria but Ralf Rangnick will already have his eyes on the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. The nation is in a good position to earn promotion to the UEFA Nations League A next year.

Marko Arnautovic has been a reliable and clinical striker for the Austrian National Team since his debut in 2008. Arnautovic has struggled to make an impact this season at his club, Inter Milan but Ralf Rangnick is unlikely to drop him in that regard. The 35-year-old has 39 goals in 120 appearances for Austria and will be the key man for them against Kazakhstan.

Konrad Laimer (Austria)

Konrad Laimer is the perfect holding midfielder for Ralf Rangnick’s system. Having worked at RB Leipzig under Rangnick’s principles, Laimer has adopted the techniques of German football perfectly. He is a pressing machine in the midfield, with a tremendous work rate. The 27-year-old can also slot in at right-back and has a sumptuous tackling ability. Konrad Laimer has 44 appearances to his name for Austria with five goals in his bag.

Kazakhstan vs Austria Prediction

Austria will travel to Kazakhstan expecting to come back with the three points. Ralf Rangnick will also look at the game as the perfect opportunity to improve the goal difference and overtake Norway in the group.

Predicted Score: Kazakhstan 0-3 Austria
