Austria vs Denmark
VIENNA (Interstat) — Austria’s women’s national team will look to build on a rare shutout victory when it hosts Denmark in an international friendly Friday, April 24, 2026, at Wiener Neustädter Stadion in Wiener Neustadt.
The match, organized by Friendlies Women of Friendlies Women in World, pits two teams heading in opposite directions against one another. Austria enters on a high after a 2-0 win over the Netherlands on Thursday, April 16 — a result that snapped a four-match winless streak dating to October 2025. That victory came one day after the Austrians fell 3-0 to the same Dutch side in a home-and-home set.
Austria’s overall form remains uneven. The squad has managed just two wins in its last six outings, with heavy losses to Italy (4-0) and Germany (6-0) exposing defensive vulnerabilities. A 2-2 draw with Belgium in October offered a brief bright spot, but the team has been outscored 17-4 in its past five matches against top-tier opposition.
Denmark arrives having lost three straight contests, including a lopsided 5-0 defeat to Japan on Sunday, March 8. The Danes have been outscored 14-3 in their last three matches, with losses to Poland (3-2) and Sweden (6-1) compounding the frustration. Denmark has not earned a result since July 2025, when it fell to Poland in a narrow defeat.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Austria, while the organization’s ELO system gives the home side a 56.60 percent probability of winning. The simulation suggests a tightly contested affair, with Austria’s recent defensive improvement — highlighted by the Netherlands clean sheet — serving as a potential turning point.
Kickoff is set for an evening start at the 10,000-capacity stadium, which has hosted several Austrian national team matches in recent years. Both sides will be eager to build momentum ahead of summer competitions. For Austria, a second consecutive win would mark its first winning streak of the campaign. Denmark is searching for its first victory since a friendly in early 2025.
