Sweden vs Austria betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers By Gustav

Sweden vs Austria betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers: "Sweden didn’t play very well in their most recent official match, but still managed to earn a fair victory away from home against Kazakhstan 1:0 back in September. They have scored in the first minute of the game, had many opportunities to reach the second goal, but remained playing without real offensive sharpness."

At least, home side threatened very little and basically had no chance for the equalizer. Prior to that game, they have won away from home against Republic of Ireland with the score of 2:1, taking a very strong lead for the second position in the group. After two victories in September, team is now at second position with seventeen points earned, five less than firstly placed Germans, but more important – they have three points more than third placed Austria, which means that in case of a victory, Sweden would secure the second spot tonight. Home coach Erik Hamren will be without midfielder Ekdal,  as well as central defender Antonsson due to suspension. Kallstrom is expected to start instead of Ekdal, while Antonsson will be replaced by Granqvist probably. Ibrahimovic will lead the attack from the first minute.

Austria, on the other side, is entering this game being in a must win situation as only victory will grant them staying in the race for the second position. In case of a draw they would also keep the chances, but will heavily depend on the game between Sweden and Germany in the last match-day in four days.

At the beginning of September they lost easily away to Germany 3:0, but improved morale with a narrow 1:0 victory at home over Ireland later on. David Alaba scored the only goal six minutes before the final whistle, bringing much deserved victory to the home team who were a superior opponent during the game. However, the team continues to be very unconvincing when playing away from home as they have only two victories in last twenty one game abroad. Last victory away from home was back in 1996, while the team counts numerous setbacks on the road against teams such as Moldova, Malta or Luxembourg. Important midfielder Junuzovic is back in the team, while the team has problems with injured Fuchs and Baumgartlinger, therefore the team might be a bit limited with their defensive options, while the team should be field up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Sweden has won last four official matches.
Sooner or later Austria will have to start playing a bit more openly and experienced and surely at least a bit better Swedish side will know how to exploit it led by Ibrahimovic. Home side will secure the second position tonight, easy or hard.

Bet: Sweden Wins
