Austria vs Italy Preview

Italy finished in second place in their qualifying group for the FIFA World Cup and shockingly failed to qualify for the competition. The Azzurri eased past Albania by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Austria, on the other hand, have grown in stature over the past year and can pack a punch on their day. The home side edged Andorra to a 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Italy have flattered to deceive over the past year and are in the midst of a transition at the moment. The Azzurri have an impressive squad at their disposal and will need to prove their mettle this week.
