The battle for second spot in Group F will go down to the wire, as Israel look to chase down Scotland, who currently have a four point advantage with two games left to play.
World Cup Qualifier Preview
Denmark have been the standout team in Group F, as they have reached the Qatar World Cup with a perfect record. However, the team that will advance through to the second round is yet to be decided. Israel are still in that fight, but they will need two straight wins to have any chance of overtaking Scotland.
Israel have been strong throughout Group F, but they could still come up short in the battle against the Scots. They have won half of their eight games in Group F, but the decisive factor has been the three defeats that they have suffered. The most important of those defeats came in the last international break, as they were beaten 3-2 by Scotland at Hampden Park.
They did bounce back with a victory in their last fixture, but their chances of reaching the playoff round are slim given that Scotland end their campaign against Moldova. Israel beat Moldova 2-1 in their last fixture.
Austria would have been hoping for much better in Group F, but they do have the safety blanket of having their Nations League performance to ensure them a playoff spot. However, their performances will need to improve from what we have seen in qualification.
Austria have won three from the eight games that they have played, and have lost on four occasions to this point. They have managed to score just eleven goals, and have conceded on 14 occasions. Austria were beaten in their last game by Denmark, as the Danes wrapped up qualification with a 1-0 win in Copenhagen.
Austria vs Israel Head to Head
These sides are matched up very closely in the overall record. Austria have won five times, while Israel have won on four occasions. Five matches have also been played out as draws. Israel won a second game in three against Austria earlier in the campaign, as they won 5-2.
