On the second last matchday of the
World Cup 2010 qualifier
Austria hosts
Lithuania. Austria has only a small chance on a World Cup 2010 ticket, but they can defend at least the third rank in Group 7 of the European zone. Only if France does not win in the parallel game against the Faroe Islands, then the last qualification fixture in Paris between France and Austria could decide which team will advance to the play-offs.
Austria wants to defend the third rank in Group 7 with a win over Lithuania and celebrate at the same time the 3rd home victory in a row. At the debut of trainer Didi Constantini the ÖFB team beat Romania 2-1, followed by a 3-1 against the Faroe Islands. Since Constantini coaches the Austrian team they had lost only one game - 0-1 in Serbia. On last matchday the ÖFB team played 1-1 in Romania.
Lithuania had a perfect start in the FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifier. The team of headcoach Jose Couceiro was second behind Serbia, with 3 wins and 1 defeat. But then Lithuania lost the next 4 games and therewith the chance on a World Cup 2010 ticket. The negative highlight was the 1-2 defeat against the Faroe Islands on matchday 8.
Lithuania has won the first leg against Austria in Marijampole 2-0. After a goalless first half Tomas Danilevicius scored 2 goals within 6 minutes. Altogether the forward from AS Livorno scored 4 goals in the running World Cup qualifier. Best Austrian scorer is Marc Janko with also 4 goals.
