Austria Team News
The Austrian national team has quality, but they have not been able to qualify for the World Cup for a long time, and that was the case this time as well. So the match with Italy is an opportunity for them to slowly start preparing for the European Championship qualifiers.
Recently, they did not play well in the League of Nations either. With 4 points won from 6 matches played they took the last place in the group. They achieved only one victory, with as many as 4 defeats and a draw. They lost their last three matches in that competition, which cost them a better placement in the group.
A few days ago, Ralf Rangnick’s team managed to end the series of failures with a narrow victory against Andorra with a goal by Marko Aranutović in the 87th minute of the match. So after that triumph we expect a quality and interesting match on Sunday against Italy.
Italy Team News
On the other hand, to the surprise of most football fans, even the current European champion will not perform at the upcoming World Cup, so Italy will have to look for a new opportunity next time in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
In the League of Nations, they won the first place in the group ahead of Hungary, Germany and England. So considering the team they have, we expect a lot from them in the coming period.
Italy is on a three-match winning streak. They recorded the last one on Wednesday in the first friendly match against Albania, where they won away from home with a score of 1-3. With this, they made a good prelude for the second consecutive friendly match this season against the Austrian national team.
H2H
Since 1990, these two national teams have met four times. Italy is more successful in their duels. They won three times, while one match ended in a draw. In the last match, Italy was better than Austria with a score of 2-1.

Austria (3-4-2-1): Alexander Schlager – Maximilian Wober – Gernot Trauner – Stefan Posch – Alexander Prass – Florian Grillitsch – Xaver Schlager – Phillipp Mwene – Florian Kainz – Marcel Sabitzer – Marko Arnautović

Austria vs. Italy Prediction
Italy is dominant in the head-to-head duels with Austria, and won the last head-to-head duel in their favor. Italy is on a three-match winning streak, while Austria snapped a five-match winless streak with a narrow win against Andorra on Wednesday.
Roberto Mancini’s team is in good form, the players are playing well in their home clubs. So we expect another victory for Italy on Sunday.
