Austria vs Italy Prediction and Betting Tips | 20th November 2022

Italy are looking to make the most of their break during the FIFA World Cup this weekend and are scheduled to play an international friendly against Ralf Rangnick's Austria side at the Ernst Happel Stadion on Sunday.


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.
