Republic of Ireland will be aiming to build on a convincing 3-0 win over Israel when they face Austria in the Nations League B round 3. Swansea City striker Adam Idah should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in that victory, while Betis forward Troy Parrott remains the main betting option for the Boys in Green. Ireland have been particularly impressive at home, winning 80% of their last five matches and keeping clean sheets in all of them.
Austria, meanwhile, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Israel and Kosovo, both ending in convincing 3-1 victories. Dortmund midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Kosovo, while PSV midfielder Paul Wanner is expected to miss out through injury. Austria have won 60% of their last 10 matches overall, but their away record is a concern, with three defeats in their last three road games and 2.67 goals conceded per match.
Ireland’s perfect recent home defensive record and Austria’s away struggles make Ireland to Win the best betting option for this matchup alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Austria's games average 4.00 goals in the Nations League).
This Nations League match will be played on Thursday 1 October 2026 at 19:45.
