Austria Win

Match Result
21/50

Reason for Tip

Bosnia are missing key suspended players, weakening their defensive structure and midfield balance. Austria are unbeaten in 10 at home, top the group, and need just a point – but their style under Rangnick makes them unlikely to settle for a draw. They are the better-organised team and should secure direct qualification.

Marko Arnautovic to Score

Anytime Goalscorer
7/5

His brace vs Cyprus means he has 6 goals in his last 2 games for Austria.
As the main penalty taker and focal point in attack, he remains the most likely scorer on the pitch.

Form and Team Stats

Austria

Austria arrive in an excellent position. Their 2–0 win over Cyprus on Saturday kept them top of Group H, two points clear of Bosnia heading into the final matchday.
A draw is enough to seal automatic qualification for the World Cup – something they haven’t achieved since 1998.

Home advantage is a major factor. Ralf Rangnick’s team are unbeaten in 10 home matches and have won all three home WCQ fixtures in this campaign, including a dominant 10–0 win over San Marino.

Austria combine intensity, high pressing and clinical finishing, and with qualification on the line, they are expected to be aggressive from the start.


Bosnia

Bosnia travel with confidence after a superb 3–1 comeback win over Romania. They remain two points behind Austria but with a playoff place already secured.

Their away form in 2025 has been strong, showing they can compete in difficult environments. However, several key suspensions leave gaps in the squad for this decisive match, making victory at the Happel Stadion a much tougher task.

Only a win will take Bosnia top of the group, though failure to do so won’t end their World Cup hopes due to their playoff safety net.


Head-to-Head History

Austria won the reverse fixture in September, 2–1, and have lost just one of the six meetings between the nations
