Amid a three-way battle for promotion from League B Group 3, Austria aim to improve their prospects with a win on Thursday, when they meet Kazakhstan in the UEFA Nations League.

Austria: 

Entering this pivotal clash with Kazakhstan, Austria aim to bolster their promotion chances with a win that could push them closer to League A. Under Ralf Rangnick, Austria bounced back from a slow start in Group 3, securing back-to-back victories over Kazakhstan and Norway in October. These impressive performances included a 4-0 win over Kazakhstan, where Matthias Seidl and Marcel Sabitzer contributed significantly, and a 5-1 rout of Norway, led by Marko Arnautovic’s brace. Sitting in a three-way tie for top spot, Austria are well-placed for automatic promotion with a win here, setting up a thrilling finale at home against Slovenia on Sunday.

Kazakhstan: 

Struggling in Group 3, Kazakhstan have failed to score in their four matches and face near-certain relegation to League C. Despite a strong Euro 2024 qualifying run, Stanislav Cherchesov’s squad have been unable to replicate that form in the Nations League. Their October defeats to Austria and Slovenia kept them scoreless and rooted to the bottom, their only point coming from a home draw with Norway. To avoid confirmed relegation, Kazakhstan must secure a rare win over Austria, a team they've historically struggled against, having yet to score in their five previous UEFA meetings.
