Latest Austria vs Kazakhstan team information
Apart from captain David Alaba, who is still recovering from a serious knee injury, coach Ralf Rangnick will be without a number of defenders for both Nations League games. Kevin Danso, who has returned to training after failing to secure a move to Roma due to a heart problem, will remain at Lens.
Furthermore, Leeds United's Maximilian Wober has undergone knee surgery and has not played since Austria's draw with Slovenia last month, giving Venezia centre-back Michael Svoboda a first call-up, while Marco Friedl also returns after more than two years out.
The attack will be led by veteran striker Marko Arnautovic, alongside Blackburn Rovers' Andi Weimann, who has scored three goals for the club this season, including a Goal of the Month strike in the derby against Burnley. Kazakhstan's squad is largely made up of homegrown players, but they also feature prominent names such as Besiktas' Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov, Silkeborg's Ramazan Orazov, and Adana Demirspor's star striker Abat Aymbetov. Aymbetov scored three goals in Euro 2024 and Nations League qualifiers, giving the visitors hope of finding the net for the first time this season. Stanislav Cherchesov's side, who are currently training in Krems, Austria, will be led by Askhat Tagybergen in central midfield.

Latest football prediction Austria vs Kazakhstan
Austria started their campaign with two away games, picking up a point from a draw with Slovenia before facing Norway on matchday two of the Nations League. Under coach Ralf Rangnick, the team have lost just three of their 14 games in Oslo. Despite Marcel Sabitzer equalising after conceding an early goal, they were left empty-handed by a late goal from Erling Haaland.
Austria, despite impressing at Euro 2024, were previously relegated from League A and are aiming to return to Europe’s top flight with a squad brimming with talent. They took just one point from five games in their previous Nations League campaign and last enjoyed success in the competition in June 2022, beating Croatia 3-0.
The team have had a slow start to the year, so taking advantage of home advantage this month will be crucial to turn things around. After hosting Kazakhstan, a team they last met in World Cup qualifying 12 years ago, Austria will look to overturn September's result against an ambitious Norway side.
Kazakhstan have failed to score in their four previous meetings with Austria, all in the last two years. After being promoted from the third tier in 2022, they played their first game in League B of the Nations League last month, drawing 0-0 with Norway. Stanislav Cherchesov’s side have shown signs of improvement, with six wins from 10 Euro qualifiers, but were heavily beaten by Greece in the playoffs.
Kazakhstan were promoted from League C with two wins over Slovakia, but head into October with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Slovenia, where Benjamin Sesko scored a hat-trick. They are now fourth in the standings and in danger of automatic relegation. Despite signs of improvement, Kazakhstan are still 109th in the FIFA rankings and have yet to score a goal at League B level. With things as they are, Austria will need to take advantage of the opportunity to claim all three points on Thursday.
