Austria Tickets

Road To Euro 2016

Despite being drawn into Group G with heavy-hitters Sweden and Russia, Austria produced a dominant display throughout the qualifying stages of Euro 2016by going undefeated throughout, with a 1-1 draw in the first group game against Sweden being the only time that they didn't win. Since then, they have shown an excellent combination of attacking and defensive prowess, maintaining the highest goalscoring record in the group with 22 goals in total, conceding only five in the process.

While it was expected that the other three teams in the group - Montenegro, Liechtenstein and Moldova - would be relatively easy pickings, Russia lost 4 points by drawing to both Moldova and Montenegro, while Sweden were unable to beat Montenegro on one of two occasions. As such, the anticipated key games between the top three teams were not high-pressure situations for Austria, thanks to their consistency shown in previous fixtures. This can be seen most prominently in their 4-1 victory against Sweden away from home. In the end they amassed a comfortable 8-point lead at the top of the Group G table and they are definitely ones to watch this summer at Euro 2016.

Their sensationalEuro 2016qualifying campaign has placed them in the top 10 of FIFA's rankings for the first time ever, and they will surely want to continue this momentum into the knockout stages of the tournament.

Austria possess a deadly counter attack and have goals in abundance from all over the pitch.Marc Janko's seven goals were supported by David Alaba's four goals as Marco Arnautovic and Martin Harnik chipped in with three goals each.## Austria Euro 2016 Fixtures

Key Players

Key player

David Alaba is undoubtedly Austria's talisman player. At only 23, he has racked up an extensive list of honours, including being votedAustrian Footballer of the Year the last four consecutive years; winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich four times; and being Austria's youngest debutant when he played for them in 2009 at the age of 17.

Known for his seemingly endless versatility on the pitch, with Bayern bossPep Guardiolastating that "he has played in nearly all 10 positions", he lines up as a midfielder for the national team, having scored 4 and assisted 3 in the qualifying campaign. Alaba's vision, energy and eye for goal is surely one of the top reasons to buy Austria Euro 2016 tickets.

The Goals

With 25 goals in his first 50 caps, Marc Janko has been a consistent goalscorer for his country since 2006, as well as being prolific at almost every club in his career - most notably, 75 goals in 107 appearances for Red Bull Salzburg, and 13 goals in 14 appearances at one stage for current clubFC Basel.

At 32 years old, Austria's shot at winning Euro 2016 is likely going to be his last major tournament, and he could certainly be the difference when it comes to providing goals when they need them most. With 7 goals and 2 assists in qualifying,Marc Janko knows where the back of the net is.

One to watch out for

Marko Arnautović is a name that manyPremier League fans will know, a stalwart for Stoke City since they signed him in 2013. In terms of his role in the national team, he has been a regular since 2008 with over 50 caps, playing both as a winger and a forward when required.

Having started in all 10 matches of the qualifying campaign, while providing 3 goals and 2 assists in the process, we can expectArnautovićto be as consistent as ever in the knockout stages of Austria's Euro 2016 campaign. Arnautovic had a reputation as**'the bad boy of Austrian football'**however the 27 year-old appears to have calmed down and enters Euro 2016 on the back of a very successful season at Stoke City in the Premier League this season.

Young starlet

Austria's Marcel Sabitzer may not be a name that most are familiar with, given that he plays in the second tier of German football for RB Leipzig, but this year's Euros could be the time for this 21-year old forward to shine. Having scored the extra time winner in their 3-2 victory against Montenegro during the qualifying stages, he could provide the energy required to give them the edge over their opponents and to take Austria far in the tournament. The 21 year-old is a tricky winger with an eye for goal and spent last season on loan at Red Bull Salzburg where he scored 19 goals. Earlier in his career, Sabitzer was on the radar of some of Europe's biggest clubs and an impressiveEuro 2016may see some of the big clubs come calling once more. Austria t
