Both Wales and Austria are known to score and concede early goals. With the figure of the latter being twelve in eight games in this tournament and 10 in the case of the latter. Hence expect early goals from this fixture.
Austria have suffered a few huge losses in recent games. However, their wins have also come by huge margins. While Wales have not been involved in extremely high scoring fixtures. I still do see at least two goals in this fixture.

Gareth Bale, Wales captain: “It’s going to be one of the biggest games I’ve played in, it would be a dream come true for anyone to play in a World Cup. It’s something that I would love to achieve for myself, my country and for the fans. Come kick-off there’s going to be a little bit of nerves as it means so much to us. I’m just excited for the game now and hopefully, we can put in a good performance and get the right result.”
Rob Page, Wales manager: “We’re expecting a tough game. They score goals and they’re a very, very good team. We have to respect them for that, but we won’t fear them, and they have to raise their game for us as well. But we will have no excuses at the end of it and we will throw absolutely everything at this game.
“To be leading these players to this stage, to be a part of this now is an unbelievable honour for me. What I say in the dressing room before the game will come from the heart. We’re looking forward to the challenge and we’ll be fully ready for it. ”
Xaver Schlager, Austria midfielder: “I met [captain Marko Arnautović] today and he asked me if I’m ready. I think everyone knows what [this game means]. You can tell the tension is there and everyone is looking forward to this game.”
Marko Arnautović, Austria forward: “I will be 33 in April and there is only a World Cup every four years. So now is the time for us to do it and luckily we still have the chance to get there.”
