Austria has won both of its matches so far in the group. The convincing victory over San Marino was expected, but the important thing is that they won 2:1 at home against their main competitor in the group, Romania. Thus, they have only one loss in their last 14 home games, which came with a 2:3 against Belgium. We have to go back to 2021 when they did not score on their home ground, but otherwise, they regularly score even more than one goal at home.
Cyprus continues to struggleCyprus has not been impressive with its recent performances. When they win, it is against teams below or at their level. They started the current qualifiers with a 2:0 win at home against San Marino. However, they followed that with losses of 0:2 away to Romania and 1:2 to Bosnia. They have conceded at least two goals in 15 of their last 17 away matches.
Prediction: -1.5 AH for Austria, Austria to win and over 2.5 goalsThere is definitely a reason for Austria to be a serious favorite for the victory against the struggling Cyprus. At least two goals in the visitors' net in this away game seem like a completely possible scenario for the upcoming match.
