Fight for the points: Austria's women in a duel against Scotland!

On Friday, May 29, 2025, a decisive game is scheduled for the Austrian women's football team. At 8:35 p.m., the Austrians meet in Hampden Park in Glasgow on Scotland. After the narrow 1-0 victory in the first group game, a draw is enough for Austria to secure third place in the group. Laola1 reports that goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger emphasized the importance of the three points. "No matter how, the railroad drives over it," she points out and underlines that the focus is on winning the game.

In the coming game on June 3, 2025 against Germany in Vienna, Austria could only be prestige. Germany and the Netherlands lead the group with ten points each, while Austria is in the table with three points and Scotland remains without a counter. A change of coaching among the Scottishes could also influence the dynamics of the game, since Melissa Andreadta now acts as a new team leader.

preparations and expectations

ÖFB team boss Alexander Schriebl expects an intensive and physical duel. Player Laura Wienroither indicated that the team is prepared for all scenarios and that the better team can be. Among the returnees in the squad are Eileen Campbell and Nicole Billa, while Claudia Wenger fails due to an injury. Over 3,000 tickets have already been sold, but the audience could go under in the large Hampden Park. An alarm was also surprising during the final training session, which the team needed for the temporary evacuation of the arena. Laola1

A third place in the group would open to Austria the chance of participating in a play-off against a second in the group of League B, while a descent to league B threatens fourth place for teams. This shows how important this matchday is for the Austrians.
