Austria's defence has been leaking goals

Austria have not kept a clean sheet in their last four matches, shipping nine goals across that run. They beat Jordan 3-1, lost 2-0 to Argentina, drew 3-3 with Algeria and were beaten 3-0 by Spain, their most recent result before Thursday. It is a shift from the form either side of that sequence: Ralf Rangnick's side won 5-1 against Ghana and 1-0 against both South Korea and Tunisia, keeping clean sheets in the latter two. Rangnick is without Konrad Laimer, Florian Grillitsch and Dejan Ljubičić through injury, and Raul Florucz through suspension.

Israel's recent results tell a shorter story

Israel's two most recent results on record are a 2-2 draw away to Georgia in March and a 1-0 win at Albania in June, both under head coach Ran Ben Shimon. It is a small sample, but Israel scored in both games and kept a clean sheet at Albania. Ben Shimon is without Or Blorian, Itay Rotman and Stav Lemkin through injury for the trip to Austria.

Austria vs Israel prediction

Austria to beat Israel in Thursday's UEFA Nations League fixture is the call, though not by a wide margin. Rangnick's side have shown they can score heavily, putting five past Ghana and three past Jordan in their last two wins, but the nine goals conceded in their following four matches show the defence is not settled. Israel's own recent form gives little reason to expect an away upset, with just two results on record and neither against opposition of Austria's level.

Our prediction: Austria 2-1 Israel
