Kazakhstan 0-2 Austria

Current streaks

Recent form

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan have endured a torrid run of form in their recent fixtures, failing to secure a victory in their last eight matches. The team's struggles are particularly evident in their defensive record, conceding a worrying 13 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.17 goals conceded per match. Their attacking output has been equally disappointing, managing to score only three goals during this period. Kazakhstan are currently on a three-match losing streak, with their last positive result being a goalless draw against Norway in the UEFA Nations League. Notably, four of their last six matches have seen over 2.5 goals, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Austria. The team's sole clean sheet in this run came in their draw with Norway, but this has been overshadowed by their overall defensive frailties, as evidenced by the 3-0 losses to both Slovenia and Azerbaijan.

Austria

Austria have shown impressive form in their recent matches, particularly in their last two UEFA Nations League games where they scored a remarkable nine goals, including a 5-1 thrashing of Norway. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an average of 2.5 goals per game over the last six matches. Notably, Austria have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of the matches. Despite conceding in five out of six games, their offensive output has led to a positive goal difference of +7. The team's resilience is highlighted by their ability to bounce back from consecutive losses against Norway and Türkiye to secure two emphatic victories. Austria's exciting brand of football is further emphasised by the high total goals average of 3.83 per game, suggesting fans can expect action-packed matches when the Austrian national team takes to the pitch.

Recent home/away form

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan's recent home form presents an intriguing mix of resilience and inconsistency. Despite a recent loss to Slovenia, the Kazakh side have shown promising performances on their own turf, securing three consecutive wins against Turkmenistan, San Marino, and Northern Ireland before that defeat. Their defensive record at home is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six matches and an impressive average of just 0.5 goals conceded per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat muted, with only one game (the 3-1 victory over San Marino) featuring more than two goals. The trend towards low-scoring affairs is evident, with 83% of their recent home games seeing under 2.5 goals. This suggests that Kazakhstan have been involved in tight, competitive matches at home, where they've managed to grind out results without necessarily dominating their opponents.

Austria

Austria's recent away form has been impressive, with three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six matches. The team have shown a potent attacking threat, scoring an average of 1.83 goals per game and netting 11 times in total. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding 1.17 goals per game. Their most notable performances came in the European Championship, where they secured back-to-back wins against Poland and the Netherlands, scoring three goals in each match. These high-scoring affairs contributed to the fact that both teams scored in 83% of Austria's recent away games. Interestingly, there's a perfect balance between high and low-scoring matches, with 50% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and 50% under. Despite their strong offensive output, Austria have managed only one clean sheet in this run, suggesting room for improvement in their defensive organisation.
