In the first duel with the mini-state, David Alaba was initially on the bench, as was Marko Arnautovic. As captain, Marcel Sabitzer led the ÖFB selection onto the field.
The three-man defense was made up of Stefan Posch, Gernot Trauner and Maximilian Wöber. Eindhoven legionnaire Phillipp Mwene, Xaver Schlager, Florian Grillitsch and Sturm Graz youngster Prass acted in midfield in his first international match. Before that, Sabitzer and Florian Kainz were supposed to support Michael Gregoritsch, who was called up in the center of the attack.
The ÖFB had originally given Kevin Danso instead of Posch in the starting lineup an hour and a half before the start of the game. The Lens defender is fit, but initially sat on the bench.
