Austria has shown themselves to be much of a resurgent force in international football as they sit in 3rd in Group C just three points behind Sweden in the table with1 4 points.
Having seen the emergence of the likes of David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic in the past few years, Marcel Koller’s side will be keen to put a lot of pressure on their opponents as they battle for the group’s playoff spot.
Paddy Power consider Ireland as 16/1 outsiders to keep their World Cup hopes alive against a Germany side looking to secure their place with a win in Cologne.
The Republic of Ireland have a must-win game in Cologne as they need to defeat Germany to stand absolutely any chance of qualifying for next year’s World Cup.
After the first 8 games, Ireland sit 4th in the standings on 11 points and are 6 points behind Sweden who currently occupy the playoff spot.
It certainly won’t be easy for the Irish though who are missing several experienced players including Robbie Keane who is a doubt after injuring his ankle during training with the national team.
Alongside that, the experienced defensive partnership of Richard Dunne and John O’Shea will be unavailable with both players suspended for the trip to Germany.
It means that the likes of Damien Delaney and Darron Gibson are going to be called upon to get the job done and ensure that Ireland stand any chance of making it to Brazil.
Germany are in an enviable position knowing that they need just one point from their last two games to help them secure their World Cup berth for next year.
The Germans will be without several top players with the attacking power of Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski and the midfield duo of Sven and Lars Bender all on a rather lengthy injury list.
It means that Germany could turn to Monchengladbach striker Max Kruse to lead the frontline after impressing many clubs and officials with some strong form in the Bundesliga.
