Austria v Albania predictions and football betting tips for the Euro 2016 warm-up friendly as both nations prepare for a tilt at the European Championships this summer.
Austria host Albania in a Euro 2016 warm up match today at the Ernst-Heppel-Stadion and our football tipster has got three betting tips.
Austria vs Albania Preview
Austria breezed through their European Championship Qualifying group winning nine and drawing the other in a group which included Russia and Sweden, who will also be at Euro 2016. They’ve got the entertainment factor as most of their games are littered with goals due to their free flowing counter attack style football. They’ve managed to accrue an excellent mixture of experience and youth, all led by their talismanic defender/midfielder David Alaba. He might only be 23, but he is vital for the national side, and he loves playing anchor in the Austrian midfield where he has a little bit more creative freedom than he does at Bayern, his wicked left foot punishing many teams.
Add in the likes of Kevin Wimmer who has recently starred for Spurs, Julian Baumgartlinger who has been crucial in Mainz’ brilliant season and the very deadly Marko Arnautovic, you can very quickly understand why Austria are an opponent nobody would like to face in the summer.
Albania have done fantastic to qualify for Euro 2016 and take their place in Group A with France, Romania and Switzerland. They were in a group which included Portugal, Denmark and Serbia and still managed to finish 2nd in that group. They have an excellent team ethic and a resolute defence which keeps them in games. They don’t have as many household names as other national teams in this summers’ competition, however keen football fans will recognise the defensive stalwart and captain Lorik Cana, Napoli right back Elseid Hysaj and free kick specialist Alban Meha.
They’ll be keen to change their recent form however, as they have just the one win in five leading up to the Austria match.
Austria vs Albania Predictions
My first Austria vs Albania prediction for this match is Austria to win to nil. I don’t see enough going forward for Albania to trouble Austria defensively, and although I expect a tight game, eventually Austria should have enough to break Albania down. This is why I’ve went for this market as opposed to the handicap market, the best odds for Austria to win to nil are 11/8 with Bet Victor.

My next football prediction for Austria vs Albania is going to be Marko Arnautovic to score anytime. He is one of Austria’s best attacking threats and will be keen to impress on the International stage, albeit a friendly. He will be looking to carry his Stoke form this season into his Austria matches, William Hill are offering 7/4 for him to score anytime.

My final Austria vs Albania prediction is going to be a correct score tip for tonight’s friendly. I do think it could be a tight affair early on, but the quality should eventually shine through towards the latter stages of the match, and I think 2-0 to Austria is a feasible punt. They won’t want to over exert themselves, but at the same time they will want a comfortable win, with a clean sheet. The best odds for Austria to win 2-0 are 6/1 at Bet Victor.
