Another of the selections that has been preparing for their participation in the World Cup is the host Russia, who travels to Tivoli Stadion Tyrol in Innsbruck on Wednesday, to face a renewed and motivated Austria, in friendly international game by the date FIFA .
Austria :
Despite closing the knockout round with two wins against Serbia 3-2 and Moldova 0-1, this was not enough to finish between two the first places in their group and thus was left without enjoying the maximum football party selections, but Despite this Austria is preparing well for their participation in the UEFA Nations League and so they are making very interesting friendly, first played against Uruguay, Slovenia and now last against Luxembourg that won them strongly, and this week will play not only against Russia but also against Germany, Brazil and Sweden, games that are facing them very seriously and with their best team due to the level of these teams.
Russia :
In the meantime things are not going well with those led by Stanislav Cherchesov in the friendlies and the Russian fan is very concerned, so Russia comes from losing 1-3 to France and thus add a streak of five games without a win, where three of them were defeats; although for many they are results that were expected since they were before selections like Argentina, Brazil and France.
But for the close of the preparation season it has been decided to play with teams that will not be in the World Cup or say a similar or lower level such as Austria and Turkey and it is expected that they will change and thus reach the World Cup with confidence.
As for direct matches between these teams, we have to say that Austria have defeated Russia in the last two games and both of them in the qualifying group stage for the 2016 European Championship with a score of 1-0.
Before these games, these teams played two friendly with a win for Russia in 1994, while in 2004 the game ended with a goalless draw.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.73
