Spain has had a shaky start of the FIFA World Cup, while Austria faced some pretty tough teams and held its own regardless.
Although the Austrians lost to Algeria 2-0, they managed to demonstrate fantastic ball possession and overall – keep their head in the game. Lionel Messi proved too much, though, with the Argentinian team securing a 3-1 victory over Austria. The upcoming match between Spain and Austria in the Round of 32 is anticipated to be intense, with Spain being the favorite to advance due to their strong lineup and performance in the group stage.
