Estonia and Austria will lock horns with each other this week. The UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group F match between Thomas Häberli’s side and Ralf Rangnick’s team will be held at the Lilleküla Stadium in Tallinn and is scheduled to kick off at 5 pm UK time on Thursday.

Estonia

Estonia are one of the smallest and weakest national football teams in Europe. They do not tend to qualify for major international competitions and do not even come close to qualifying. As harsh as it may sound, Estonia are merely there to make up the numbers.

Thomas Häberli’s side were never really going to do much of note in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group F. Estonia have picked up just one point from six matches, three fewer than Azerbaijan in fourth.

Estonia kicked off their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group F campaign on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Austria away from home in Linz. Then came the 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan in Baku. Since that game, Estonia have lost 3-0 to Belgium, 5-0 to Sweden and 2-0 to Azerbaijan in the qualifiers.

Team News:

Estonia will have Matvei Igonen, Karl Hein of Arsenal, Artur Pikk, Ken Kallaste, Marco Lukka, Rocco Robert Shein, Martin Vetkal and Henri Anier in their squad.

Austria

Austria are a small nation in Europe, but they do have a good footballing pedigree. Although Austria do not always qualify for major international competitions, they do tend to go close. And in the summer of 2024, they will certainly play in the European Championship.

Das Team are second in UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group F at the moment. Austria have picked up 16 points from seven matches and are a point behind leaders Belgium. Both Austria and Belgium have already qualified for the Euro 2024 finals, it just remains to be seen which team wins the group.

Austria then played out a 1-1 draw with Belgium. Ralf Rangnick’s side beat Sweden 2-0 in Vienna before getting the better of the Swedes 3-1 in  Solna. After a 3-2 loss to Belgium at home, they won 1-0 in Azerbaijan.
