Preview

Match preview

Republic of Ireland host Austria in League B of the UEFA Nations League, with both sides seeking to build on positive moments from their opening fixtures. The hosts responded to an opening 1-0 defeat against Kosovo by securing a comprehensive 3-0 away victory over Israel, highlighting their ability to rebound quickly.

Austria arrive in Dublin having made a strong start to their Nations League campaign, winning both of their opening home fixtures by 3-1 scorelines against Israel and Kosovo. With six goals scored across those two fixtures, their attack has operated with sharp efficiency, although they have conceded in each outing.

This fixture represents a clash of styles, as Republic of Ireland look to make home advantage count after playing their first two group games on the road, while Austria face their first travel test of the group phase.

Confidence

Austria have won both of their group matches so far, scoring three goals in each game to establish early control in the standings. Republic of Ireland bounced back well with a 3-0 away win against Israel, but they also suffered a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo. Austria's offensive output gives them a slight edge, though playing away from home keeps the draw firmly in play.
