Prediction: 1-1
Greece
Austria and Greece face each other in Klagenfurt in a friendly match for the first time since 2013. Back then Greece defeated Austria 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. The start of the new Nations League campaign has been a mixed bag for the Austrians, who defeated Norway 2-1 on the road, while suffering a 3-2 loss to Romania at home ground.
Even though former Premier League ace Marko Arnautovic will not play for Austria against Greece, we predict that David Alaba and Co. are going to grab something from Wednesday’s friendly. The Greeks, on the other hand, aim to build on the Nations League win over Kosovo. The visitors are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Klagenfurt, and they should take advantage of Arnautovic’s absence. Taking everything into account, share of spoils is on the cards at Worthersee Stadion.
Highlighted Player (David Alaba):
David Alaba started his youth career at SV Aspern and in 2002 he joined Austria Wien. Bayern Munich chiefs decided to sign him and he was promoted to the reserve team for the 2009/2010 campaign. He made 33 appearances for Bayern Munich II and he has been playing for the first team since 2010. At the age of 17 Alaba made his Champions League debut on 9 March, 2010 against Fiorentina.
The Austrian international is a full back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. He represented Austria at the 2016 European Championship finals in France, but das Team failed to impress at the showpiece tournament, suffering elimination in the group stages. David Alaba won his fifth Bundesliga title with Bayern in the 2015/2016 season and he clinched the Champions League trophy with FCB in 2013.
Speaking of his individual honours, he was named Austrian Footballer of the Year in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Alaba was born in Wien on 24 June, 1992.
Highlighted Team (Greece):
Former European champions Greece played their first official match on April 7, 1929, with the team suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Italy in Athens. The Greeks booked their place at the FIFA World Cup finals in 1994 for the first time ever, but they failed to impress at the showpiece tournament in United States of America.
The Galanolefki were eliminated in the group stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well, but they made it to the knockout stages of the tournament in Brazil four years later. However, the Greeks were more than unfortunate not to book their place in the quarter-finals as they were beaten by Costa Rica on penalties. However, Greece did remarkably well to win the 2004 European Championship and that is considered the national team’s biggest success.
Otto Rehhagel outplayed the likes of France and Czech Republic in the knockout stages to set up a meeting with hosts Portugal in the title game. Thanks to Angelos Charisteas’ goal 12 minutes into the second half Greece won the European Championship.
