The top two teams in Group F of Euro 2024 qualifying go head to head at the Ernst Happel Stadion on Friday as Austria play host to Belgium.
Both nations are sitting on 13 points after five matches and know that a victory here will book their place at next year's tournament in Germany.
Victories over Azerbaijan and Estonia were recorded before beating Sweden both home and away in their last two qualifiers, including a 3-1 win in Stockholm last month, and the only time that Das Team have dropped points in Group F was when they played out a 1-1 draw with Belgium in the reverse fixture held in Brussels four months ago.
Ralf Rangnick's side are only behind leaders Belgium on goal difference, but they crucially sit seven points clear of third-placed Sweden and need to claim just three more points from their final three games to secure their spot at Euro 2024.
Ranked 25th in the world by FIFA, Austria boast an impressive home record in Euro qualifying as they have won 11 of their last 12 matches on their own turf dating back to October 2014.
