Austria are unbeaten in their two previous international matches against Tunisia, winning 2-1 at home on 27th May 1998 and drawing 0-0 at home on 21st November 2007. Both matches were played at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, with the 1998 fixture also serving as preparation for a World Cup.
Austria are unbeaten in their last 13 home matches (W10 D3), their longest such run in the association’s history. The Austrian team have lost just one of their last 19 home matches (W14 D4), a 2-3 defeat against Belgium in October 2023.
Austria have lost their last two international matches played on a Monday – 0-1 against France at EURO 2024 in June and 1-2 against Norway in a Nations League match in Oslo in September 2024. The ÖFB team have never lost three consecutive Monday matches in their 22 previous games played on that day.
Tunisia are unbeaten in their last six friendly matches (W3 D3) and have kept clean sheets in their last two friendly matches – a 1-0 win against Haiti and a 0-0 draw against Canada, both at BMO Field in Toronto.
Marcel Sabitzer has scored in two consecutive international appearances, with both goals being the opener – against Ghana (5-1) and South Korea (1-0). Scoring in three consecutive international appearances would be a first for the 32-year-old. With his next international goal, Sabitzer (currently 25 goals) will draw level with Matthias Sindelar and Andreas Herzog (26 goals each) in Austria’s all-time top goalscorer list.
