Algeria vs Austria Preview

Qualification for the last 32 will be on the agenda for Algeria and Austria here, as they prepare to clash in Kansas City.

Both sides come into this one having comfortably seen off Jordan but losing out to Lionel Messi’s Argentina and this has become an intriguing one as a result.

Austria’s progress at the World Cup would be a huge line in the sand for Ralf Rangnick’s outfit and they know a draw would put them in a great position to progress.

Algeria are in the same situation and as a result, the draw does look to be the perfect result for both countries.

However, this is World Cup football and both Algeria and Austria will be out to win the game for themselves primarily.

Here is a look ahead to Algeria vs Austria:

Cynics and critics of the new expanded World Cup format will point to this game as a clear floor in the system.

Both Algeria and Austria know that a draw here should see them through, having won against Jordan but both lost to Argentina.

Professional footballers are famously competitive and there will be no inch given here but there has to be a certain level of pragmatism to this one.

As seen already in this tournament, if a draw suits both parties, that is what tends to happen and there could be another tie on the cards here.

Austria do look to have the stronger squad on paper, but both sides could be quite risk averse and the draw looks the value play.

While both Austria and Algeria will be looking after their own interests in this one and it could be cagey from the outset.

Avoiding risk and keeping things tight defensively will be the key objective for both teams and chances could be at a premium.

Should one side get their noses in front, they are unlikely to want to add to that lead too much and with that in mind, a low-scoring draw feels like a value play.

Playing in the final round of group stage games makes the picture abundantly clear for Algeria and Austria and they won’t want to lay a glove on each other here.

Both have already bagged decent wins over Jordan and been edged out by Argentina, so they know a stalemate will see them through to the knockout rounds.

One goal would kill this bet, making it a risky play but neither side will be too bothered about attacking and a bore draw could be the way to go.
