Algeria vs Austria

A decisive winner-takes-runner-up clash between two evenly-matched sides on 3 points each; Algeria's loss of key forward Amoura (hamstring) blunts their attack, while Austria rely on Arnautović, making a tight, cagey draw the most likely outcome with both wary of losing.

Austria only needs a draw to secure second place on goal difference, and they are likely to set up defensively to frustrate an Algerian side missing Amoura.

Austria has shown better defensive stability and overall quality than Algeria in their matches against Jordan and Argentina, making them favorites to secure second place.

Austria only need to avoid defeat to stay ahead of Algeria on goal difference, while Algeria are weakened by Mohamed Amoura's listed hamstring injury. Expect Algeria to push for the win but Austria's organization and game-state incentives make a draw plausible.

Algeria and Austria level on points; Algeria's recent win over Jordan and stronger squad depth give them edge in must-win decider for 2nd place.

Austria only needs a draw to advance while Algeria must win, forcing them to attack. With Amoura injured, Algeria's attack is blunted, and Austria's counter-attacking setup with Arnautović should exploit the spaces left behind.

Both teams sit on 3 points in a virtual knockout for 2nd place, but Austria were more convincing in their win over Jordan (3-1 vs Algeria's 2-1) and lost by a narrower margin to Argentina. Algeria's loss of M. Amoura to a hamstring injury further tilts this toward Austria in a tight, high-stakes contest.

A decider for 2nd place: Austria hold the GD advantage (+1 vs -1) and need only a draw, while Algeria are without injured Amoura (hamstring).
