Austria’s Euro 2024 Ambitions: A Deep Dive into the Upcoming Clash with Azerbaijan
Key Stats
– Azerbaijan need to win by at least three goals to remain in contention for Euro 2024 qualification.
– Austria’s Marcel Sabitzer and Azerbaijan’s Emin Makhmudov are among the top-rated players for their respective teams.
Austria, close to ensuring their participation at Euro 2024, will face Azerbaijan at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium come Monday. The hosts, Azerbaijan, recently celebrated a victory in Group F, but Austria, despite facing a defeat against Belgium, still holds a high chance of qualifying.
Past Performances: A Closer Look Austria’s recent match against Belgium was a nail-biter. They trailed by three goals before eventually narrowing the deficit, thanks to timely goals from Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer. Now, three points shy of Belgium in the Group F standings, Austria’s path to Euro 2024 qualification isn’t without challenges.

In contrast, Azerbaijan’s journey has been bumpy. Despite beating Estonia, they have faced multiple losses, including a 4-1 defeat against Austria earlier this year. This has placed them in a tough spot, needing a significant victory over Austria to keep their slim hopes alive.
The Stakes for Both Teams For Austria, a win guarantees their place at Euro 2024. Yet, even a defeat with a less than three-goal margin might suffice, given Sweden fails against Belgium. If the worst happens, Austria can look forward to their match against Estonia in November.
Azerbaijan, on the other hand, are aiming to avoid finishing last in their group. Their campaign will conclude with challenging matches against Sweden and Belgium, making the upcoming game against Austria even more crucial.
Team News: Who’s In, Who’s Out Austria faces significant setbacks with key players like David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic missing out. Yet, with the depth in their squad, options remain aplenty. Sasa Kalajdzic and Manprit Sarkaria might be upfront, and Marcel Sabitzer could potentially energise the midfield.
Azerbaijan are likely to retain most of their winning team from the Estonia match. Emin Mahmudov and Ramil Sheydayev, having scored 20 international goals collectively, will likely spearhead the attack.
