An exciting match awaits us on Tuesday when Sweden and Austria, who are separated by only four points after four matches in Group F, meet.
Sweden have been rightly criticised for their inconsistency in recent months. The blue-and-yellows got off to a poor start in qualifying for EURO 2024, losing their first game by a three-goal difference. They responded positively and defeated Azerbaijan 5-1, but were humiliated again by Austria on matchday 3. Janne Andersson's side returned to winning ways last time out with a 5-0 victory over Estonia and are now aiming for successive wins.
Meanwhile, Austria needed to show a reaction after a miserable Nations League campaign that saw just one win in six matches. ''Das Team'' did just that, kicking off their EURO 2024 qualification campaign with a resounding 4-1 win over Azerbaijan, which was followed by another win against Estonia. They drew against Belgium, but got back on the winning track in their last match against their opponents of Tuesday’s game, Sweden.
Sweden vs Austria Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Sweden can be ruthless in front of goal on a good day. The hosts recently scored five goals against Estonia and have gone without scoring in only two of their last ten games.
One of the most important changes Ralf Rangnick has made to the Austrian national team concerns the final third. Since the former Manchester United coach took charge, Das Team has gone without scoring in just two games. They finished only two games of the eleven games played in that period without conceding however, which reduces their chances of keeping a clean sheet here.
Also, both teams scored in four of the last five meetings between Sweden and Austria.

Sweden team news
Sweden are set to be without the services of Kristoffer Olsson, Hjalmar Ekdal and Ludwig Augustinsson due to injuries.
Head coach Andersson has used a 4-4-2 formation, with Premier League pair Isak and Kulusevski starting up front in the last two EURO 2024 Qualifiers and that isn’t expected to change here.
Alexander Isak’s goal last time out was his tenth in 41 appearances for the Swedish national team, while Dejan Kulusevski scored his third international goal.

Austria team news
Austria head coach Ralf Ragnick is expected to fill his strongest starting eleven after resting key players in the friendly match against Moldova last time out.
Captain David Alaba and RB Leipzig's Baumgartner are some of the big names which weren’t in the starting eleven for Thursday’s friendly but will start Tuesday’s game.
Michael Gregoritsch continued his fine form in front of goal last time out - scoring for the fourth time in five games - and the SC Freiburg forward will keep his place in the final third.
