European Championship Qualifiers
After winning a clear 4-0 away in Estonia, the Austrian U-21 team will stop in Finland on Tuesday (6.30pm, live on ORF Sport+ and in live broadcast). For the Austrians, who have nine points after four matches, the lead in the standings is under scrutiny. The Finns hold five points, but like the flawless second-placed Croatia (9 points), they have one less game in the reckoning.
Quick defense player Emmanuel Ayew said the first place is a great shot. “The group is very close, something can change quickly. But it is also clear that we will do everything in our power to make sure that the leadership of the championship is no longer out of control.” With 13 goals, ÖFB’s selection at the top of the qualifiers, Salzburg striker Junior Adamu He is the top scorer with five goals.
Finland went two matches without a win after losing at home to Croatia (0-2) and 1-1 in Azerbaijan. Red-White-Red doesn’t want this to blind him en route to the 2023 finals in Romania and Georgia. “For me, the Finns have absolute quality. They don’t just play the classic Scandinavian with a lot of power. They are a team that wants to play modern football, let the ball run well, and try to create moments of change in pressure,” said Gregorich.
