Das Team will lock horns against the Dragons in the UEFA Nations League

Austria will host Slovenia in an important UEFA Nations League clash on Sunday. It will be the final group game for both sides and it could also be their final game in the competition this season. The Austrians come into this one on the back of a comfortable 2-0 win over Kazakhstan away from home. Das Team’s last game against Slovenia ended in a draw and this time they will surely look to get a win. Overall, Austria is a much better side, but they will still have to be at their best to get a positive result.

Slovenia got trashed by Norway as they lost the game by 1-4. It was a shock for them as they lost their home game. Fans are disappointed with their inconsistent performance. The coaching staff and players are under pressure and surely they will have to make plans to get a good result away from home against Austria. This will be a very important fixture for both teams and surely this will be a mouthwatering clash.

Players to Watch

Christoph Baumgartner (Austria)

Baumgartner is essentially a modern-day number 10. The midfielder is a technically proficient attacking midfielder who is capable of good defensive work with one of his best attributes being is great pressing. He is a versatile player which makes him a great asset for a team that likes to play fluid attacking football. His contribution in defence is not down to just his commitment though, as he is an intelligent player. He can pick and choose the correct movements to press and win the ball back instead of running around and ruining the overall team press.

Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia)

The Slovenian stands at 6ft 4. He uses his frame to take huge strides with the ball, building great speed in and out of possession very quickly. He still needs to improve his hold-up play but he is a lethal goal scorer. In tight spaces, he does not lose the ball possession easily and can beat defenders with his physicality. He has a great shooting technique and when he has the chance to volley the ball, he’s patient in waiting for the ball to drop perfectly. His in-the-box movement is largely down to his good spatial awareness.
