Tip and bets

3.68Draw

It is an extremely important match for both teams, both opponents are in a desperate need of victory. Austria and Scotland are pretty even on class, so it is hard to pick a favourite.

We think that home team will have a slight advantage, but British side is looking good in recent matches, so they will have a chance to put up a surprise. We offer a bet on a draw, it will be a positive result for both teams and it will keep the intrigue in the group.
