Austria and Sweden will need no introduction in Group G having met in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, their two fixtures each ending 2-1 to the home team. Neither side ultimately made the finals in Brazil with Sweden having come closest by narrowly missed out in a play-off game against Portugal. The Swedes will be favourites to take victory on Monday night but a draw looks the most likely outcome for a meeting of two teams ultimately differentiated only by the quality of one Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Both teams will fancy their chances of finishing in the top three spots of Group G.

Austria vs Sweden Match Preview

As I noted above, Sweden enter into this game as marginal favourites. Austria only managed to qualify once for the European Championships, and that was back when it was the country organizing it in 2008. However, in their last five matches they have had an unprecedented unbeaten run which could be amplified should they win against Sweden.

The two teams met in the qualification campaign for the World Cup in Brazil, but both lost to Germany and never managed to get the ticket to Rio. Another impact could be the fact that the Austrian football federation has hired Hermann Meier to be the team’s moral boost coach, a move which had the former athlete state: “I want to pass on experiences from my own career about setting and reaching goals as an athlete.”

Much of Sweden’s fate will depend on the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in attack; if he is fit and firing, generally the whole team will, too. However, given that the PSG forward broke his country’s all-time scoring record during the week one suspects that the Swedes can reliably count on Zlatan to carry them through what looks a difficult opening fixture. Russia look strong favourites to top Group G. John Guidetti and Alexander Kacaniklic also provide offensive threats.
