Austria

“Austria's WC2026 squad features a 4-3-3 formation, emphasizing a high-intensity press and swift transitions through their midfield trio, comprising skilled playmakers Mathias Hager and Christoph Baumgartner. Their key strength lies in the potent attacking duo of Karim Onisiwo and Florian Grillitsch, who have formed a lethal partnership, capable of netting crucial goals from midfield and upfront. One concern for Austria is their vulnerability on the counter-attack, particularly when their high line is exploited by swift and agile opponents, which could potentially expose their backline's defensive depth.”
