Israel host Austria in the UEFA Nations League. Austria have been the busier, more free-scoring side across their recent fixtures, while Israel have found goals much harder to come by.
These two actually met only last month in this same group, with Austria winning that one, so there's a clear recent reference point here. This fixture sits a month on from the data we've got, so form is a snapshot rather than a guarantee of what turns up at kickoff.

Form snapshot
Austria arrive on six wins from their last 11 matches across Nations League, World Cup and friendly fixtures, with 22 goals scored in that run. That sample does include some very different tests, including away trips to Spain and Argentina at the World Cup, so it's not all like-for-like.

Israel's record is quieter: two wins and four draws from eight games, with more goals conceded than scored overall. Their last few Nations League outings have mostly finished level, including a goalless draw with Kosovo and a 1-1 at home to Rep of Ireland.
Austria's scoring form clearly outstrips Israel's over this period.
Comparative Team Statistics: Israel vs Austria

Recent meetings
These sides have met five times since 2019 and it's been fairly even across that stretch, with wins shared and a couple of high-scoring draws in the mix. But the most recent clash, played in September 2026 in this same Nations League group, saw Austria win 3-1 on their own ground.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UEFA Nations League | Austria | Israel | 24.09.2026 | 3-1 |
| World Cup - Qualification Europe | Austria | Israel | 12.11.2021 | 4-2 |
| World Cup - Qualification Europe | Israel | Austria | 04.09.2021 | 5-2 |
| Euro Championship | Austria | Israel | 10.10.2019 | 3-1 |
| Euro Championship | Israel | Austria | 24.03.2019 | 4-2 |
That result doubles as the reverse fixture for this group phase, so Israel will be after a different outcome now that Austria are the ones travelling.
Where the group stands
Going by the four games each side have played in this section, Austria sit top with eight points from two wins and two draws, unbeaten so far. Israel are bottom of the two teams shown here on two points, having lost twice and drawn twice, conceding seven along the way.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| League B - Group C | |||||||
| 1 | Austria | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 9/5 | 8 |
| 2 | Kosovo | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3/4 | 5 |
| 3 | Rep. Of Ireland | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 6/4 | 5 |
| 4 | Israel | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2/7 | 2 |
It's only a partial picture since we're not working from the full group table, but it lines up with the form figures: Austria are converting more, Israel are still searching for goals.

Players and fitness notes
The most recent meeting between these two threw up a few individual notes: Kalajdzic scored for Austria, with Lang and Wanner both credited with assists, while Farhi got on the scoresheet for Israel but also picked up a yellow and a red card in that same match.
None of that confirms who'll actually feature this time, squads can shift quite a bit across a Nations League window, but Farhi's disciplinary record from that fixture is worth keeping an eye on if he's involved again.

We're not landing on a selection for this one, mainly because there's no market attached to assess. Austria have the stronger run of results and the head-to-head edge from their last meeting, but Israel's home advantage and the gap of a month to kickoff add enough uncertainty to hold off.
If a market does open up closer to the game, it's worth revisiting with fresher team news rather than leaning purely on the picture we have now.
