Austria Team Preview – Overview
Austria have qualified for the European Championship for the first time and they did it very impressively indeed having dropped just two points from their 10 matches in that stage and they go into this event as genuine dark horses for many judges including us here at kevshatsportsbets.
Austria’s only previous appearance in this tournament came in 2008 when they co-hosted the event with Switzerland and they failed to win a match in their group as they went out quite meekly. They will be looking to make amends and some history over the next four weeks.

Betting
I’ve already backed Marc Janko to be the tournament top scorer so I’m not going to go in on him again here nor am I going to oppose him and there isn’t a lot else around to bet on with regards to this Austria side, particularly as they are one of our outright bets too so I’ll sit back and cheer on the Austrians without a further bet.
