Austria is at the top of the group, but with a loss they could drop to third place. So only with a victory will they secure their first place. It seems entirely possible for them to achieve this now at home. Currently, they have three consecutive wins, two of which were at home and quite convincing. They defeated Kazakhstan 4-0 and their main competitor Norway 5-1.
Slovenia has three points less, and both of their wins so far have been against Kazakhstan. They also had a draw at home against Austria. However, they suffered two heavy losses against Norway - first 0-3 as visitors, and then 1-4 at home on Thursday. Another tough visit is ahead, which also seems likely to end in a loss.
Prediction: Austria to winAustria has achieved convincing home victories so far in the group. Slovenia, on the other hand, was beaten twice by Norway, and the likelihood of losing again as guests to Austria is high.
