Best bet

Rep. Of Ireland over 0.5 goals. Ireland have already scored against Austria this season and face a home defence that has leaked 1.25 goals per game in the Nations League. Ireland's attacking output of 1.5 goals and 1.44 expected goals per game sits above Austria's defensive average. Betting on Ireland to score at least once offers value given Austria's vulnerability at the back and Ireland's proven ability to find the net against this opponent. Back this at 1xBet at 1.60.
