• The Blazers have lost their last three games in this league, but they won 2-1 over Bulgaria in a March friendly.
• Zlatko Dalic’s squad qualified for the 2022 World Cup after finishing first in Group H with 23 points (7 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss).
• Croatia upset England in the semi-finals before losing 4-2 to France in the final.
• The host team didn’t make a big impression at Euro 2020, losing to Spain in the final 16, so it’s unlikely they’ll contend in Qatar.
• Austria finished fourth in Group F with 16 points from 10 matches, failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
• The Team hasn’t been to a World Cup final since 1998 when they were ousted in the group stage, however, Burschen were in Euro 2020 past summer, losing to eventual champion Italy.
• Austria won Group 1 of League B in the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League, promoting them to Group A, but it’s a tough group.
• Ralf Rangnick was recently named as the next head coach of the European nation. The 63-year-old is no longer a consultant at Manchester United.
• The Germans face Croatia, Denmark twice, and France in early June.

The new head coach of Austria, Rangnick, will be doing everything in his power to get off to the best possible start, and the away team has a good chance of picking up a favorable result on Friday. Despite the fact that Croatia possesses a lot of quality, particularly in the middle of the field, it is anticipated that the host team will emerge victorious in this competition by a razor–thin margin.
