Austria and Israel meet in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday 24 September 2026, and with neither camp handing out major fitness bulletins, the predicted lineups are shaped as much by who is missing as by who is in form. Both sides go into the match with a single confirmed absence apiece, and that is really where the selection story for this one begins.
Austria Predicted Lineup
Austria are projected here in a 4-2-3-1, though that shape is a default rather than something we can pin on a specific coach’s preference. The truth is we have no readable recent line-ups for them, so this expected XI leans on the squad list rather than on any pattern of recent starts. Names such as David Alaba and Marko Arnautović anchor the back four and the forward line respectively, but with no starts data to lean on for this window, every place in the XI should be read as an estimate rather than a settled selection. It is a predicted line-up built for context, not a confirmed one.
Austria predicted XI: Alexander Schlager; David Affengruber, Kevin Danso, Stefan Posch, David Alaba; Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald, Marcel Sabitzer, Florian Grillitsch, Carney Chukwuemeka; Marko Arnautović

Predicted Israel Line-up
Israel are also projected in a 4-2-3-1, again a default shape rather than one attached to a known coaching setup. As with Austria, we have no readable recent line-ups for them, so this is a squad-based projection rather than one built from recent starting patterns. Daniel Peretz is pencilled in as the goalkeeper, with Oscar Gloukh and Yarden Shua among the more recognisable names filling the attacking positions, though none of this can be treated as a confirmed team news line-up. Call it a working estimate of the expected XI until the official team sheet lands.
Israel predicted XI: Daniel Peretz; Eli Dasa, Roy Revivo, Raz Shlomo, Idan Nachmias; Yarin Levi, Dor Peretz, Oscar Gloukh, Anan Khalaili, Eilel Peretz; Yarden Shua

| F | 7 | Yarden Shua | 0/0 | 0/0 |
Team News: Who Is Out
Konrad Laimer is out injured, a loss that thins Austria’s midfield options in the middle of the park. With no recent-starts data to lean on for bench players either, it is hard to say with confidence who slots in, but Romano Schmid is among the alternatives Austria could turn to in that area.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Konrad Laimer | M | injured | Adductor injury |
Omri Gandelman is out injured for Israel, another absence that affects the midfield unit specifically. Again the bench carries no recent-starts data, but Gabi Kanichowsky is among the options available to freshen up that part of the pitch.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Omri Gandelman | M | injured | Unknown Injury |
Where These Predictions Come From
Our approach is to build each expected XI from a team’s most recent line-ups, weighting newer matches more heavily than older ones, and stripping out any player confirmed injured or suspended. For this Austria vs Israel match, though, neither side has a readable set of recent line-ups within our window, so both projections default to a squad-based estimate rather than a form-based one. Treat this as a starting point that can and will change once the official team news is announced closer to kick-off.
