Expect an exciting showdown when Switzerland and Austria face off at Kybunpark on Saturday afternoon. The Swiss team, fresh from a dominant 4-0 victory over Estonia, will face a tougher challenge against Marko Arnautovic and his Austrian teammates. Xherdan Shaqiri has recovered from his injury, as has Augsburg midfielder Ruben Vargas, while Breel Embolo is expected to make an appearance in this match.
On the other side, Ralf Rangnick’s squad will continue without long-term absentee David Alaba. However, Marcel Sabitzer is set to play against Switzerland, having been rested in the recent 2-1 win over Serbia. Borussia Dortmund’s Sabitzer is pushing for a starting spot, along with Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer. Given the evenly matched nature of both teams, a tightly contested game is anticipated in St. Gallen.
Prediction: 2-2
