A huge game lies ahead as Wales take on Austria in a battle for World Cup qualification.

A straight one-game knockout tie is ahead of us in Cardiff this Thursday, with one team advancing to the final of the qualification stage and the prospect of appearing in Qatar. The other - will be watching from home in December.

Austria find themselves lucky to be in this position of qualification, they're only here courtesy of winning their Nations League Group, whereas Wales positioned second in their World Cup qualification group behind Belgium.

Whatever happens in this fixture, it should be a fantastic battle between two great international sides. It'll be a shame to not see both in Qatar.

Austria - 17/10

Prediction: Wales 2 - 0 Austria

Gareth Bale of Wales celebrates his team's 3-1 win after the UEFA EURO 2016 quarterfinal.

Despite Austria being a decent side, they have never beaten Wales before. Combine this with the fact that Wales are unbeaten in seven games, have no injury worries and have the full support of the Cardiff City Stadium behind them - we think they'll come out on top.
