Sweden vs Austria Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th September 2023

At Friends Arena, Sweden and Austria are going head-to-head in an electrifying group stage game on Tuesday. This is the sixth round of the qualifying for the European Championship, with both teams vying for a spot.

A 2-0 win was the follow-up to a 2-0 victory, when Austria last faced Sweden, no doubt raising the spirits ahead of their next trip.

After the fifth round of the group stage, Sweden are number three on six points, while Austria are on ten points as number two.

Whereas hosts Sweden sit as number 23 in the FIFA world ranking, visitors Austria arrive this coming Tuesday as number 29.

It look like a close race between two teams for the top spot in the group, and Austria have a good chance of taking it. Preventing Sweden from winning here would keep the difference between the two nations at four points in favour of Austria.
