Serbia - Austria UEFA - WC 2010 Qual. Prediction

Serbia - Austria
06.06 20:30
Serbian squad is ahead of maybe the most important qualifying match in their group when they will host Austria. This game is important due to many reasons, primarily to keep the first spot cause if they win here and against Faroe Islands a few days later, they will literally be left alone at the top of the group and then a draw at home against France would almost surely take them to the World Cup. The atmosphere around Serbian nat’l team is finally at the highest level, their players are giving their best and scoring goals playing a very attractive football and for the first time in many years I think that Marakana stadium will be almost completely full when the national team is playing. Zigic won’t play due to yellow cards suspension, while it’s very likely all other regulars will be ready. The players at the prep camp seem very optimistic and are stating they aren’t afraid of the opponent and expect to repeat the story from Vienna where they beat the Austrians last time.
Weakened and uninterested
A change of coach, injuries, bad results in the qualifiers are just some of the things that are bothering the Austrians at the moment. Red-whites played very inconsistent over these qualies, losing to Lithuania, Serbia, drawing against Faroe Islands which basically knocked them out of the WC race and ruined their rhythm completely. They played their last match well, beating demoralized Romanians at home, but it’s questionable how motivated will they be for this clash knowing they’re primarily entering this clash totally weakened and without players like Arnautovic, Fuchs, Ivanschitz so they will have very few weapons to use in this clash.
Huge support is the way for a triumph
Many factors go in Serbia’s favor here and sometimes it’s maybe not so wise to place high stakes on such big dogs, whose victory is pretty clear and thus I will go for another bet and that is a home win by 2 or more goals as this generation of Serbian nat’l team players is playing a lot better than the previous one, who barely beat Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan with narrow wins, while this club is playing compact and seems really great together and what’s best is that they always play for a goal more and attacking so I think it’s very likely they score one goal in the first half and a few more in the second so bets like 1-1 ht/ft and handicap are in my opinion the right choices for this match.
Tip: Serbia (-1), Odds 2.3;
