Estonia will get their quest for a place in the 2024 European Championship underway when they take on Austria at the Raiffeisen Arena on Monday (March 27). Ralf Rangnick’s side are on a run of three wins victories and will look to build on their opening-day performance.
Austria got their qualification campaign off to a flyer, as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Azerbaijan on Friday (March 24). Marcel Sabitzer almost single-handedly put Gianni De Biasi’s men to the sword, scoring two and setting up one of the hosts’ four goals at Raiffeisen Arena.
Hungary have now won their last three games across competitions, scoring seven goals and conceding once since last year’s UEFA Nations League. Estonia, meanwhile, head into the qualifiers as one of several nations seeking to secure their first European Championship appearance.
The Blueshirts will look to build on their perfect run in last year’s UEFA Nations League, where they picked up 12 points from four games to win League D and gain promotion. Estonia are unbeaten in four games across competitions, winning twice and drawing once since November’s Baltic Cup campaign.

Austria vs Estonia Team News
Marko Arnautovic has withdrawn from Austria’s squad after declaring an injury prior to their victory over Azerbaijan, meaning Baumgartner and Gregoritsch are set to lead the line once more having both bagged during the 4-1 win.
Rangnick may bring Stefan Posch into his backline at the expense of Gernot Trauner, but otherwise the former Manchester United boss is unlikely to want to tinker too much with a winning formula.
Estonia, meanwhile, may go with the same team which competed to a decent level against Hungary in their recent friendly defeat, with Haberli likely to be hopeful that an extra day’s rest could provide his team with a much needed advantage.

Austria vs Estonia Odds
We say: Austria 3-0 Estonia
Austria produced an excellent performance to see off Azerbaijan – who had won five matches in a row prior to arriving in Linz – last time out and we can envisage a similarly dominant result for them against Estonia.
The visitors’ stock has significantly fallen in recent years, and put simply they lack the individual quality to unsettle a team of Austria’s calibre.
