Prediction: 3-0
Estonia
Austria will be aiming to build on a 4-1 win over Azerbaijan when they take on Estonia on Monday in their second group game. Marko Arnautovic was forced to withdraw from Austria’s squad prior to the Azerbaijan game, but the Bologna striker was not missed in the opener. Maximilian Wober suffered an injury in Friday’s clash, with fellow defender Stefan Posch likely to step up.
In Arnautovic’s absence, a man to watch in the home team will be Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, who impressed in the opening match. The Estonians, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Hungary in a friendly, and seeing that Austria do not suit them, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. When the two teams met in the 1998 World Cup qualifiers Austria recorded back-to-back wins over Estonia (3-0; 2-0).
Highlighted Player (David Alaba):
David Alaba started his youth career at SV Aspern and in 2002 he joined Austria Wien. Bayern Munich chiefs decided to sign him and he was promoted to the reserve team for the 2009/2010 campaign. He made 33 appearances for Bayern Munich II and he has been playing for the first team since 2010. At the age of 17 Alaba made his Champions League debut on 9 March, 2010 against Fiorentina.
The Austrian international is a full back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. He represented Austria at the 2016 European Championship finals in France, but das Team failed to impress at the showpiece tournament, suffering elimination in the group stages. David Alaba won his fifth Bundesliga title with Bayern in the 2015/2016 season and he clinched the Champions League trophy with FCB in 2013.
Speaking of his individual honours, he was named Austrian Footballer of the Year in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Alaba was born in Wien on 24 June, 1992.
Highlighted Team (Estonia):
Former Soviet republic Estonia declared its independence on August 20, 1991 and they have been participating in FIFA and UEFA competitions ever since. The Estonians have yet to make it to the finals of a major tournament, but they often made life difficult for European giants in the qualifiers.
In 2010 Estonia did well to beat Serbia in Belgrade in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, but they eventually failed to qualify for the showpiece tournament. “The Blueshirts” welcome their rivals at Le Coq Arena in Tallinn and the capacity of the stadium is 10.500. Sergei Zenjov, who played for the likes of Blackpool, Karpaty and Torpedo Moscow in the past is one of the most famous Estonian footballers.
Ragnar Klavan is yet another notable footballer who plays for both Estonia national football team and Liverpool. The Estonians play their home games in blue shirts and black shorts, while they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
