Austria’s home form is strong, and they’re expected to dominate this game with a clean sheet, making a straightforward win likely. Under 2.5 goals fits the cautious, tactical play they’re expected to employ, especially at home.

Austria’s attack at home can open up, and Cyprus’s goal-scoring in away matches suggests both teams might score. A 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline isn’t out of the question, so over 2.5 goals and both scoring could be on the cards.

Recent matches hint at a tight game, with both teams capable of scoring. A high-energy draw with goals feels plausible—think 2-2 or 1-1—especially if Cyprus plays offensively after defending in previous matches.
