The second qualifier for the Austrian national team is also on Sunday evening at 20:45 CEST, as they face the Faroe Islands. With Stefan Lainer and Valentino Lazaro, Austria sit in second place behind Denmark following their 2-2 draw against Scotland. Denmark lead Group F after beating Israel 2-0 in the first match of qualifying.
