Match analysis
Republic of Ireland vs Austria on 1 October is the third game in eight days for both teams. Superior's pick is Under 3.5 goals at 1.32 with a 76% chance, because the grid's likeliest scores, 1-1 and 0-1, sit well inside the line.
Ireland's two games in this window finished 0-1 and 3-0
Superior sets both teams' expected scoring from measured scoring and conceding. Ireland average 1.5 goals a game and Austria 1.8, and even summed those two stay below the 3.5 line, so four goals needs both attacks to run above their recent level on the same night. Ireland lost 0-1 to Kosovo on 24 September and won 3-0 in Israel three days later, three goals or fewer each time.
Austria's last two games both finished 3-1
Under 3.5 loses at four goals, and Austria's two wins in this window, 3-1 over Israel and 3-1 over Kosovo, each hit exactly four. Their 3-3 with Algeria in June went further still. If Austria score three again, Ireland need only one to beat the line.
