Ralf Rangnick’s Austria face Algeria in the crucial Group J fixture. Both teams came into the last round of the group stage with three points as they both beat debutant Jordan and lost to Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
A draw would send both to the Round of 32 with Austria getting a second place finish thanks to their superior goal difference. There are a total of eleven Bundesliga stars from the two lineups as the German coach picked eight German-based players in his XI.
