Team News: Austria Vienna
Austria Vienna boss Stephan Helm has to choose a team with limited availability. Ziad El Sheiwi (Cruciate ligament tear), Philipp Wiesinger (Hamstring injury), Lukas Haubenwaller (Cruciate ligament tear), Florian Wustinger (Cruciate ligament tear) and Abdoulaye Kantรฉ (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.
Weโre of the thinking that Die Veilchen could decide to play in a 3-5-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Samuel Radlinger, Tin Plavotic, Alexander Dragovic, Johannes Handl, Matteo Perez-Vinlรถf, Abubakr Barry, Dominik Fitz, Manfred Fischer, Reinhold Ranftl, Maurice Malone and Marko Raguz.
