When they meet the Netherlands in Berlin, Ralf Rangnick's side may need to take the initiative, so the identity of Das Team's lone striker remains a matter of intrigue.
All-time leading scorer Marko Arnautovic was introduced to the starting XI against Poland, scoring the third goal in a 3-1 win, but Michael Gregoritsch has generally been preferred to the veteran Inter Milan striker of late.
For the Austrians' opener versus France, Max Wober and Kevin Danso started together in central defence, but Gernot Trauner and Philipp Lienhart were then paired against the Poles.
Trauner responded to his promotion by netting the opening goal but was later forced off by a muscular injury; therefore, either Danso or Wober could return to the back four.
After being consigned to a bit-part role so far, Wolfsburg winger Patrick Wimmer may now be unleashed on the right flank, perhaps causing versatile midfielder Florian Grillitsch to miss out.
Christoph Baumgartner's place should be assured, having combined with Arnautovic to score an excellent second goal on Friday, while captain Marcel Sabitzer is considered undroppable and will now reach double figures for major tournament appearances.
Austria possible starting lineup: Pentz; Posch, Danso, Lienhart, Mwene; Seiwald, Laimer; Wimmer, Baumgartner, Sabitzer; Gregoritsch
