Preview
Israel come into this one with confidence as they beat Faroe Islands 4-0 in their last match which elevated them to the 2nd spot in the table.
Zahavi scored a hat-trick while Dabbur also added his name to the scoresheet.
The Israel side has secured 7 points from 4 matches similar to their opponents, Austria.
On the other hand, Austria picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Moldova in their last match after Baumgartner and Arnautovic found the back of the net.
Austria is level on points with Israel but one position lower due to their inferior goal difference.
Hence, this could be a closely fought affair as both sides aim to reduce the gap on Denmark.
