The winner of this tie will play the Netherlands in a Berlin quarter-final on Saturday evening. Austria wouldn’t mind meeting the Dutch again so soon after last week’s 3-2 win; Ronald Koeman’s side would relish the chance to immediately right some wrongs. Exactly what to expect should Türkiye get through requires another level of imagination altogether: Türkiye and the Netherlands met twice in World Cup qualifying in 2021, the former winning 4-2 at home, the latter winning the reverse fixture 6-1. Good luck calling that, if we have to. Whoever goes through tonight, it could set up a doozy.
Austria make four changes to the XI that started the 3-2 win over the Netherlands. Kevin Danso, Phillipp Mwene, Christoph Baumgartner and Konrad Laimer are in; Maximilian Wöber, Alexander Prass and Florian Grillitsch drop to the bench, while Patrick Wimmer is suspended.
