Austria Lead Head to Head
These two nations locked horns 13 times so far and Austria have a 6-3 advantage in terms of victories.
Das Team Failed to Force Upsets at the WC 2026
Austria participated in the World Cup 2026 earlier this summer where they grabbed four points in three group stage matches, beating Jordan 3-1, losing to Argentina 2-0, while the clash against Algeria ended without a winner 3-3.
Next, Ralf Rangnick’s side locked horns with Spain in the Round of 32 and suffered a heavy 3-0 loss without firing a single shot on target.
Their results just before the tournament were quite promising, earning three straight victories in friendly matches against Ghana 5-1, South Korea 1-0 and Tunisia 1-0.
Israel Enter This Clash as Underdogs
Israel wrapped up the previous year with a 4-1 victory against Moldova in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers and finished 3rd in Group I behind Norway and Italy (had four wins and four defeats).
Speaking of their results this year, they locked horns against Georgia in March and recovered from a two-goal deficit to take a 2-2 draw. Guy Mizrahi and Omri Gendelman appeared on the scoresheet.
The second appearance was in June in Tirana, beating Albania 1-0 as underdogs with Oscar Gloukh scoring the winning goal in the second half.

Austria (4-2-3-1) Patrick Pentz; Stefan Posch, Kevin Danso, Philipp Lienhart, Phillipp Mwene; Nicolas Seiwald, Alexander Prass; Patrick Wimmer, Romano Schmid, Christoph Baumgartner; Sasa Kalajdzic
The home side have to contend with a generational shift and major squad absences, as legendary striker Marko Arnautovic retired, Marcel Sabitzer takes a break, and former captain David Alaba remains unattached. Furthermore, Austria have Konrad Laimer, Florian Grillitsch, and Dejan Ljubicic ruled out with injuries while Raul Florucz serves a suspension.
