The Republic of Ireland remain in contention for promotion to League A of the Nations League heading into tonight’s match away to table-toppers Austria.
Ralf Rangnick’s hosts haven’t been beaten on home soil in three-years, and the Austria boss says he’s “confident” they can deal with the threat posed by Ireland striker Troy Parrott.
The sides drew 2-all in Dublin in the last window, and an Irish victory would set up the chance to win the group against Kosovo on Tuesday.
Brentford’s Nathan Collins is back from injury to captain Ireland.
In the other match in Ireland’s group, Kosovo take on Israel this afternoon.
Elsewhere, Northern Ireland play host to Ukraine, Wales are away to Norway, and Portugal’s first fixture since Cristiano Ronaldo’s retirement pits them against Denmark.
