Austria are set to take on Northern Ireland in group B3 of the UEFA Nations League on Friday evening.

The two sides are currently joint bottom of their group, having both lost to league leaders Bosnia & Herzegovina. Northern Ireland & Austria will be expected to go all-out to get the win in this match, in an attempt to avoid relegation from the group.

In anticipation of this match-up, Charlie Nicholas gave his score prediction and highlighted West Ham United's Marko Arnautoviu0107 as the main threat for Northern Ireland.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Nicholas predicted a 2-0 victory for Austria said: "Marko Arnautoviu0107 has been great for West Ham this season and at home he's bound to give Northern Ireland problems all night long, so he could be the difference and it wouldn't surprise me if he scored both goals in this one.
