Kazakhstan

In the last round, Stanislav Cherchesov's side suffered a 0-1 defeat at home to Slovenia. As a result, the team extended their winless run in the Nations League to five matches (1 draw, 4 losses). Moreover, Kazakhstan has not scored a single goal during this stretch and is the only team in League B yet to find the net in this tournament's current edition. In the standings, Kazakhstan has only one point, and to retain their place in League B, they need to win both remaining matches and hope for favorable results in other group fixtures.

Defender Nuraly Alip and forward Islam Chesnokov are suspended for this game.

• The team has not lost in regular time in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Nations League (3 wins, 1 draw).
• Kazakhstan has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last six home games in this tournament.
• The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Kazakhstan's last 7 home matches in the Nations League.

Austria

Ralf Rangnick's side thrashed Norway 5-1 at home in the last round. As a result, Austria secured their second consecutive victory in the Nations League, both with a four-goal margin. Furthermore, the team scored five goals for the first time in this tournament's history. In this group, three teams – Austria, Norway, and Slovenia – are tied with seven points each. Two wins in the remaining matches will guarantee Austria the top spot in the group and a promotion to League A.

• The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Nations League (1 draw, 3 losses).
• No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Austria's last 7 away games in this tournament.
• At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Austria's last 7 away matches in the Nations League.

Kazakhstan vs. Austria: Match Prediction

After moving up a division, Kazakhstan has faced challenges, but they have shown resilience at home, even against higher-ranked opponents. The team prefers a defensive approach, aiming for positive results, and has conceded only one goal in their last two home Nations League matches against Norway and Slovenia. However, Kazakhstan has yet to score in this tournament after four matches.

Austria's performance varies significantly between home and away games. At home, they scored nine goals in two matches and collected six points, while away, Ralf Rangnick's team has earned just one point and scored only twice. In 6 of Austria's last 7 away Nations League games, they have not scored more than one goal. Meanwhile, they have conceded a maximum of one goal in 7 of their last 10 away matches in this tournament.

Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
