Austria host South Korea in a European vs Asian International Friendly on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, with kick-off at 7:45 PM (WAT). Both World Cup nations face off in a competitive friendly ahead of the summer tournament.

Match Preview

Austria have been one of Europe's most improved national sides, qualifying for Euro 2024 and competing well above expectations. With RB Leipzig's Marcel Sabitzer and a host of Bundesliga-based players, Austria play an energetic pressing game that is difficult to handle. At home in Vienna they are a tough side to beat.

South Korea bring the excitement of Son Heung-min, one of Asia's greatest ever players, and a squad that competes with technical quality and organised pressing. Son’s presence always gives South Korea a goal threat from any position and they will be looking to put in a strong performance against European opposition.

Our Prediction

Austria at home carry the slight edge but Son Heung-min's quality means South Korea always pose a threat. We back Austria to win narrowly in a competitive friendly.
