Republic of Ireland are predicted to draw with Austria on Saturday. Ireland have lost only one of their last 12 matches across all competitions, highlighting their resilience. Austria would likely be content with a point, as a draw would ensure they remain group leaders. This combination of Ireland's strong form and Austria's position in the group supports the expectation of a closely contested match ending level.

Republic of Ireland have lost just one match in the last 13 months. The first head to head clash between the sides was evenly matched in Dublin, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another scoring draw. 

Key Stats  


  • Austria have drawn their last 2 matches. 
  • Austria have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches against Republic of Ireland. 
  • Austria have seen BTTS in their last 4 matches. 
  • Republic of Ireland are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches. 
  • Republic of Ireland have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches. 

Austria Lead H2H 


Austria won in 9 out of 17 head to head matches so far, while Republic of Ireland secured just 3 victories. 

Hosts Topping the Group 


Austria needed 89 minutes to crack underdogs Israel in their UNL opening match where they ultimately won 3-1, ending the clash with 2.79-0.20 xG and 9-1 shots on target), followed by a 3-1 win over Kosovo in late September. 

Ralf Rangnick's side was in tough position in third round, trailing by two goals at half time against Republic of Ireland in Dublin but stepped up and scored two unanswered goals in the second half to secure a point in a 2-2 draw. 

Das Team trailed in their most recent appearance against Kosovo in Prishtina as well, Christoph Lang finding an equalizer in the 85th minute in a 1-1 draw to keep them top of the table. 

Ireland are Tough to Beat 


Republic of Ireland started the new Nations League campaign with a 1-0 road loss to Kosovo in late September, registering just one shot on target, but bounced back with a 3-0 win over Israel a couple of days later. 

Heimir Hallgrimsson's side wasted a 2-0 lead against Austria in the third round in Dublin, being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw. Troy Parrott scored both goals in the first half. 

Another draw was registered in the fourth match, also played in front of the home crowd against Israel 1-1. Rep of Ireland had 1.90-1.01 xG and 16-10 shots here, Parrott appearing on the scoresheet once again. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Austria (4-2-3-1) Alexander Schlager; Stefan Posch, Felix Bacher, Kevin Danso, Konrad Laimer; Nicolas Seiwald, Xaver Schlager; Raul Florucz, Romano Schmid, Alexander Prass; Michael Gregoritsch

Marko Arnautovic and David Alaba retired from the national team after the WC 2026. Michael Gregoritsch now has the most appearances on this roster (81), while also scoring 25 goals. 

Republic of Ireland (3-4-3) Caoimhin Kelleher; Dara O'Shea, John Egan, Liam Scales; James Abankwah, Finn Azaz, Conor Coventry, Ryan Manning; Jack Moylan, Adam Idah, Troy Parrott

Gavin Bazunu is sidelined due to injury, so Mark Travers got called up as cover. Andrew Omobamidele was out of contention, recovering from an injury. 

Verdict

Republic of Ireland lost just one of their last 12 matches across competitions, while Austria would probably be happy with a point here since they would still be the group leaders. I am predicting a draw on Saturday.
