On Friday night, the Euro 2024 qualifiers are going to continue. One of the games will be between Austria and Belgium. After 5 games, Austria has 4 wins, 1 draw, a total of 13 points and 2nd place while Belgium also has 4 wins, 1 draw, and a total of 13 points but they are in the 1st place. In this game, I predict that Austria won't lose.

Austria is playing very well in this qualifier. Their only draw was against Belgium in the summer - 1:1. While Belgium had a bigger ball control, Austria had more shots on target. At home, Austria has played well because they have conceded just 2 goals while scoring 8. Austria is 2nd just because of the goal difference. Belgium had 3 games when they scored at least 3 goals while in 2 games, they scored just once.

Belgium is a little depleted in terms of their depth. Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois are out for an extended period, along with Romeo Lavia in the midfield. Austria will be without their best defender David Alaba for these qualifiers, but they still have a solid backline pairing of Lens' Kevin Danso and Freiburg's Philipp Lienhart. Maybe the biggest boost to Austria is the return of Sasa Kalajdzic who is their best forward.

Austria is not a team that needs to have possession to be successful, instead, they are looking to play in transition. Xaver Schlager and Konrad Laimer are outstanding pressing midfielders and are perfect for the system Ralph Ragnick wants to employ. Ragnick has been around a long time and we know by now that he is one of the creators of the 4-2-2-2 system that RB Leipzig have used very often throughout their history.

With both teams missing some players, I still think that Austria has a chance to win this game. They already showed in June what they are capable of and they should play well especially because they will be in front of their local fans.

周五晚上，2024年欧洲杯预选赛将继续进行。其中一场比赛将在奥地利和比利时之间进行。5场比赛结束后，奥地利取得4胜1平，总积13分排名第二，比利时也取得4胜1平，总积13分排名第一。在这场比赛中，我预测奥地利不会输。

奥地利在这次预选赛中表现非常好。他们唯一的平局是今年夏天对阵比利时，1:1。虽然比利时的控球能力更强，但奥地利的射门次数更多。在主场，奥地利踢得很好，因为他们只丢了2球，却进了8球。奥地利因为净胜球的差距排在第二。比利时有3场比赛进3球以上，有2场比赛只进1球。

比利时队的阵容深度有些不足。凯文·德布鲁因和蒂博·库尔图瓦将缺席一段时间，中场的罗密欧·拉维亚也将缺席。奥地利将在预选赛中失去他们最好的后卫大卫·阿拉巴，但他们仍然有一个坚实的后防线组合:朗斯的凯文·丹索和弗赖堡的菲利普·林哈特。也许对奥地利来说最大的推动是他们最好的前锋萨萨·卡拉季奇的回归。

奥地利不是一支需要控球才能成功的球队，相反，他们希望在过渡中发挥作用。施拉格尔和莱默都是出色的逼抢中场，非常适合拉夫·拉格尼克的战术体系。拉格尼克已经在这里呆了很长时间，我们现在知道他是莱比锡RB历史上经常使用的4-2-3 -2阵型的创造者之一。

两队都缺了一些球员，我仍然认为奥地利有机会赢得这场比赛。他们已经在六月展示了他们的能力，他们应该表现得很好，特别是因为他们将在当地球迷面前。
