The Serbs have quality and experience all over the pitch with players proven at the highest levels like Branislav Ivanovic, Aleksandar Kolarov, Nemanja Matic, Nikola Maksimovic and Dusan Tadic, all of who are consistent performers in Europe’s major leagues. The Serbians easily have the strongest squad in Group D.

Marcel Koller knows his team have been drastically underperforming in the run up to this week’s Austria vs Serbia betting tips. The Austrians have picked up just one win in their last nine – that victory was over a very poor Moldova side. One loss in their last six feels like a slight improvement, however, but their distinct lack of firepower is an area we need to assess while scanning through today’s football odds for the clash on Friday.

Austria vs Serbia Prediction and Betting Advice

Austria lost 3-2 to the Serbs when the teams played in the reverse fixture between the two last year – a brace from Newcastle striker Alexandar Mitrovic made the difference that day. And while that game was relatively even for much of the ninety minutes, Serbia have gone from strength to strength since while their opponents have floundered. Slavoljub Muslin has watched his players lose just once on their travels in seven, an important stat for our Austria vs Serbia bets.

The Austrians have only won once in eight in front of their own supporters, they play with very little confidence in the Ernst Happel Stadion. With no real incentive for the home players to win, the tie is open for the visitors to seal a victory that would put them in the World Cup next year. Bet-at-home can’t be beaten for value on this one, so we endorse their odds for this free pick.

We round up our Austria vs Serbia predictions and expert OddsDigger football betting tips by forecasting that there will be little goalmouth action in Vienna on Friday. In all seven of the Austrians last seven fixtures there have been under 2.5 goals registered. Their lack of venom around the penalty box has been a major facet of their game for a while and a constant source of frustration for their goal starved fans.

In four of the Serbians last five away matches, the contests have also ended under the 2.5 goal mark. Muslin likes to set his stall out to be watertight at the back when he takes his team outside their borders and Friday should be no different. The home team have only scored more than two goals at the Ernst Happel Stadion once in thirteen attempts. We suggest using 10Bet’s amazingly lucrative odds for our final bet choice for this fixture.
