The first match of the Marcel Koller era sends the boys in red to Kiev to face the Euro 2012 co-hosts. While many other countries have 2 friends this coming week, the Austrians have elected to play only one. So I anticipate Koller using a full allotment of substitutes and not playing for a result. The team lex Reyes Jersey he is taking with him is below with my thoughts at each position.Keepers:Robert Almer- Fortuna Du seldorf (Ger) 0 startsPascal Grunwald- Austria Vienna (Aust) 3Heinz Lindner- Austria Vienna (Aust) 0I anticipate seeing Grunwald play and get the full 90. Lindner hasnt seen the field for his club so far, so he is in the squad is for him to just get used to being there.Defenders:Aleksandar Dragovic- FC Basel (Sui) 14Christian Fuchs- Schalke 04 Michael Wacha Jersey (Ger) 46/ 1 goalFlorian Klein- Austria Vienna (Aus) 10George Margreitter- Austria Vienna (Aus) 0Manuel Ortlechner- Austria Vienna (Aus) 7Emanuel Pogatetz- Hanover 96 (Ger) 46/2 goalsSebastian Prodl- Werder Bremen (Ger) 31/3 goalsFranz Schiemer- RB Salzburg (Aus) 21/ 4 goalsFuchs is a given, but would love to see Prodl and Dragovic get playing time due to their youth. Dragovic in particular has been doing very well in helping Basel to hold their own in the Champions League play.Midfielders:Daniel Alaba- Bayern Lou Brock Jersey Munich (Ger) 15Julian Baumgartlinger- Mainz 05 (Ger) 17Christopher Drazan- Rapid Vienna (Aus) 3Andreas Ivanschitz- Mainz 05 (Ger) 51/8 goalsZlatko Junuzovic- Austria Vienna (Aus) 16/1 goalVeli Kavlak- Besiktas (Tur) 14Florian Mader- Austria Vienna (Aus) 0Christopher Trimmel- Rapid Vienna (Aus) 3The midfield will either be four or five, but I anticipate seeing Baumgartlinger and Alaba, who recently played a full 90 for Bayern in their victory over Augsburg, and even came on as a sub Dexter Fowler Jersey in their 3-2 Champions League victory over Napoli.ForwardsMarko Arnautovic- Werder Bremen (Ger) 15/5 goalsMartin Harnik- VfB Stuttgart (Ger) 27/6 goalsErwin Hoffer- Eintract Frankfurt (Ger) 27/4 goalsMarc Janko- FC Twente (Neth) 23/9 goalsThis would be the most talented area for the Austrians, and I could see any of these four getting time and/or scoring a goal.I anticipate a draw here either 2-2 or 1-1, with the inexperience at keeper it would take an excellent full team effort to get a clean sheet. I think Janko will get a goal for the Wunderteam, as his strong season in the Netherlands will hopefully carry over here.Ukraine is playing 2 during this international break, as the Germans are also coming to Kiev on Friday. I anticipate them using both of these to finalize their Euro lineups and will not settle for anything le Red Schoendienst Jersey s than a win against Austria.
