Qualifying duel in Cyprus
Battle for the World Cup ticket: The ÖFB line-up is here!
Ralf Rangnick has made his decision: this is the starting line-up for the ÖFB team going into the hugely important World Cup qualifier in Cyprus.
There had been question marks over the left-half and left-back positions in the back four. Rangnick opted for Kevin Danso, who will start in place of the suspended David Alaba, and Konrad Laimer.
Here is the starting line-up for the Austrians:
Captain Marko Arnautovic will start up front. Xaver Schlager, who was suffering from calf problems until a few days ago, will start.
The starting position
A win in Limassol against Cyprus would mean a first World Cup appearance since 1998, provided Bosnia-Herzegovina do not win at home against Romania just three hours later.
Even if they fail to secure a ticket for the 2026 finals today, the ÖFB team can still make it through on their own against Bosnia in Vienna on Tuesday.
