Austria to Take on Faroe Islands on Friday in a Must-Win Match

With mere four points secured from three qualification matches played so far, Austria will take on Faroe Islands in a must-win match to qualify for World Cup on Friday. The match will be played at Vienna's Ernst-Happel Stadium, which will decide the fate of Austria for the upcoming World Cup 2013 to be played in Brazil.

The game will not be easy; however, the Austrian team is eager to prove their caliber and capability to qualify for the next World Cup. They are not taking the game lightly after they lost to Gareth Bale-inspired Wales team in a friendly match February.

The Austrian Coach, Marcel Koller, is busy deciding which player to play at which position in the upcoming do-or-die game. Their most trusted goalkeeper is expected to sit out of the field in wake of an injury and the coaching staff is yet unsure of which player to substitute him on the day.

Marc Janko is likely to start the game while Andreas Weimann is expected to play in the middle or on the wing. Aston Villa, who prefers playing in middle, has said that he will be comfortable playing on flanks.

Last time when the two teams played against each other, Austria won the match by 3-1. This game is quite important and Austria seems confident.
