International Football Friendly 6 February 2013 Wales versus Austria


When: 6 February 2013

Who: Wales (82) vs. Austria (68)
*FIFA rankings as of January 2013 via Soccerway.com

Where: Liberty Stadium, Swansea

+ Back in January Football Friendlies speculated regarding Craig Bellamy's return to national duty. Indeed, head coach Chris Coleman included the forward for the Austria match. Hopefully we will see the Welsh national side's full attacking prowess with Bellamy, Gareth Bale, Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey together on the pitch.

+ Eager to see how 21-year-old Austrian striker Andreas Weimann performs due to his familiarity with many of the Welsh players and the Liberty Stadium. He's enjoying a decent season with Aston Villa.

+ Austria faces two beatable opponents this March as the team attempts to navigate the World Cup qualification process. First up, the Faroe Islands journey to Austria, after that match, Das Team heads to Ireland.

Speculative Final Score: Wales 3-1 over Austria with goals from Bale, Bellamy and Ashley Williams.
