Sunday evening at the Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri, Austria play their fourth match in eleven days, their second against Kosovo in the same window. Ralf Rangnick won the first two. In Dublin on Thursday he needed two goals in the last quarter of an hour to salvage a 2-2 draw, after trailing 2-0 until the hour mark. Rangnick has named Sunday\u2019s problem himself: freshness.<\/p>\n

Dublin showed the Austrian legs<\/h2>\n

Irish pressing suffocated an Austrian first half Rangnick called \u201cnot good\u201d<\/a>. Three changes at the break (Laimer, Gregoritsch, W\u00f6ber), and two substitutes delivered: Prass in the 71st minute, Gregoritsch in the 77th. The coach spoke of a \u201cmental freshness problem\u201d more than a physical one, cancelled Friday morning\u2019s training and announced more rotation in Pristina, with the target of \u201cat least a point\u201d, as in Ireland.<\/p>\n

The goalless draw in Israel leaves Kosovo second in the group, four points to Austria\u2019s seven. Across the window, Kosovo have conceded only three goals, all of them in Vienna, where they fed the Austrian counters. Franco Foda said it after that game: \u201cthe game was even if you only look at the statistics; but Austria were exceptional at exploiting our mistakes\u201d<\/a>. Ireland, for their part, did not score in Pristina in the opening round, on Sunday\u2019s very pitch.<\/p>\n
