Group A leaders Croatia visit the Ernst Happel Stadium, looking to extend their prolific form against bottom side Austria. Ralf Ragnick’s side might have started the group well with a statement 3-0 victory over Croatia, yet what was to follow was underwhelming, with the hosts losing three and drawing one since then. Austria have had mixed fortunes at home in recent games, with a 2-2-2 record in their last six. Their record against Croatia is poor, having managed to lose all of their previous four meetings against them. 

The Croatians took a vital 2-1 win against second-placed Denmark, which lifted them top of the group thanks to an impressive cameo by Lovro Majer. They have now won their last three games, only having lost once in their last fourteen encounters. With their experienced core still up for it and up and coming talents emerging, they look in good place to not only top this group but also have a good run in the upcoming Qatar World Cup. On top of that, they have been flying on the road in recent games, winning all of their last five outings and keeping clean sheets in four of them. While they tend to get the job done, their away games tend to be quite closely fought affairs, with eight of their last nine outings failing to see both teams score and seven of those featuring Under 1.5 goals.
