ℹ️ Team News: Austria Vienna

Abdoulaye Kanté (Cruciate ligament tear), Lukas Haubenwaller (Cruciate ligament tear) and Ziad El Sheiwi (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Austria Vienna boss Stephan Helm.

In our view, Die Veilchen could line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time, beginning the first half with Mirko Kos, Lucas Galvão, Nik Prelec, Alexander Dragovic, Reinhold Ranftl, Philipp Wiesinger, Manfred Fischer, Dominik Fitz, Maurice Malone, Philipp Maybach and Hakim Guenouche.
