by Bradley Gibbs in World Cup Picks
On Saturday, during the afternoon for US viewers, there's more World Cup Qualifiers taking place over in Europe, one of which will be played at Alphamega Stadium in the Cypriot city of Limassol, where Cyprus will host Austria. Right now, the visitors are in pole position in Group H, but their position isn't incredibly secure, especially with the Bosnians just two points behind. Another two points behind sit the Romanians, then come the Cypriots, who have surprised a few people with some cavalier performances in qualifying so far.
If the visitors come unstuck in the Cypriot capital, then they may no longer top the pile. Moreover, if the hosts can cause an upset here, which may not be amazingly unlikely, then they will have put themselves in a position of real promise, so much so that a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup may not be beyond them. An interesting game awaits.

Our Cyprus vs Austria Prediction
Let's be honest, this group is tighter than many of us thought it would be, and that's largely down to the fact that Saturday's hosts have managed to get very competitive. They've so far picked up two wins and three draws, leaving them on eight points and far from out of it. Crucially, at home, they've looked good going forward, scoring in three out of three, notching a total of six goals.
Of course, the Austrians have been by far the best team in the group offensively, and they will go to Cyprus confident of doing damage, but will they keep things tight? They've already conceded away to Romania and Bosnia, which leaves me to conclude that the odds for 'Both Teams to Score' are a little too large to ignore.
Our Cyprus vs Austria Pick: Both Teams to Score.
