LiontipsSpain - Austria: betting tip (cf 2.00) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Spain got off to a bad start at the World Cup. In the first round of the group stage, it was not possible to crack Cape Verde's saturated defense (0-0). There was a lack of speed in the development of attacks in that meeting, there were few aggravating passes, despite the usual total advantage in possession of the ball. In the next match against Saudi Arabia, Luis de la Fuente's team played much more actively, literally turned on the pressure in someone else's penalty area and did not experience any problems (4-0), and they created a three-goal lead in the first half. In the final round, the Spaniards defeated Uruguay with a minimum score of 1-0 and eventually advanced from first place to the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Munoz, Pinault and N. Williams are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Spain did not concede a single goal in the group stage.
- In three of the last four matches, the Spanish national team won in the first half.
Approximate line–up: Simon – Llorente, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella – Olmo, Rodri, Pedri - Yamal, Oyarzabal, Baena.
Current form
Austria was far from the most difficult group, where there was one clear favorite – the reigning world champion Argentina. Jordan and Algeria did not stand out in any special way initially. As a result, there were no sensations in the quartet, as expected, the Argentines finished first, the Austrians took second place. However, the fate of the second place was decided in the final round in the confrontation with Algeria, where a 3-point draw was recorded.:3. It is characteristic that Ralf Rangnik's team could not show anything against Argentina (0:2), the tactics with active pressure did not work at all. Plus, throughout the group stage, the Austrians experienced significant defensive problems, conceding in each of the matches, even from Jordan (3:1). The opponents broke through the high pressure in the middle of the field, used the free space near the penalty area of the Austrians.
Disqualifications and injuries
Baumgartner will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, the Austrian national team has not won in the first half.
- In seven of the nine previous matches, the Austrian national team players fouled more often than their opponents.
Approximate composition: A. Schlager – Posh, Danso, Alaba, Mvene – Seiwald, K. Schlager – Schmid, Laimer, Zabitzer – Arnautovich.

Austria's Victory on Foulsbet
In seven of the last nine matches, the Austrians fouled more often than their opponents.

The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
The Spanish national team scored the last two World Cup victories with a "dry" score.
Tip and bets
After a misfire with Cape Verde, the Spaniards achieved two straight-sets victories over Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. In these matches, Luis de la Fuente's men actively used the flanks, stretched the opponents' defenses, and turned on the pressure themselves literally at someone else's penalty area, which brought success.
Austria, under the leadership of Ralf Rangnik, habitually relies on high pressure, but today it is unlikely that they will be able to play in such a manner, since the opponent will not allow it. Defensively, the Austrians constantly had problems during the group stage matches, as the opponents overcame the pressure and entered the free space due to fast passes. In none of the three matches in the group could the Austrian national team win back to zero, conceded six goals. With such a game, it's hard to count on being able to hold off a powerful Spanish attack led by Yamal and Oyarzabal today.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Spain by a factor of 2.00
Bet on the total
The Spaniards have not conceded a single goal in three matches at the World Cup. This is not a big surprise, since the red fury literally takes control of the ball from the very first minutes and does not allow the opponent to get to his penalty area. We do not expect that the Spanish dry streak will be interrupted today.
The second bet is that Austria will not score with a coefficient of 1.76
Betting on corners
With total possession of the ball, it is logical to expect the Spanish national team to win on corners. Moreover, the red fury has a good trend in corners: in seven of the eight previous matches, they managed to take more corners than their opponents.
Prediction – Spain wins on corners with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 1.60
