Austria's Likely Lineup Features 7 Bundesliga Stars Against Israel
The Israeli national football team is set to face Austria on Thursday in their opening match of the 2027 Nations League campaign. The Austrian team is expected to field a lineup with several players familiar from top European leagues, including seven from the German Bundesliga.
In goal, Alexander Schlager of Werder Bremen is anticipated to start. The defense is likely to feature Stefan Posch and Philipp Mwene from Mainz, Philipp Lienhart from Freiburg, and Kevin Danso from Sunderland.
The midfield is expected to include Nicolas Seiwald of RB Leipzig, Xaver Schlager of Nottingham Forest, and Romano Schmid of Frosinone. Upfront, Paul Wanner of PSV Eindhoven and Patrick Wimmer of Hoffenheim are projected to play, with Michael Gregoritsch of Augsburg leading the attack.
Several notable players are expected to be on the bench, including Carney Chukwuemeka, who previously played against Israel for England in the U19 European Championship final and scored. Maximilian Wöber and Alexander Prass are also not expected to be in the starting eleven.
