Match background

Iceland have yet to defeat Austria in three meetings but hope the tide will turn as they look to finish UEFA EURO 2016 Group F on a high. Previous meetings • Austria are undefeated in three against Iceland although they were held 1-1 in an Innsbruck friendly in May 2014. Kolbeinn Sigthórsson cancelled out 's opener for Austria. • The current head coaches of the two nations, and Lars Lagerbäck/Heimir Hallgrímsson, were in charge for that game. • The only competitive encounters between the countries came nearly 27 years ago, a 0-0 draw in Reykjavik and a 2-1 win in Salzburg helping Austria qualify for the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

They are one of two sides making their major finals debut at UEFA EURO 2016, along with Albania. • With a population of 330,000, Iceland is the smallest nation to have appeared at any major final tournament; with around 8.4 million citizens, Austria's population is over 25 times that of Iceland. • Icelandic sides have played five games in France in UEFA club competition, losing all five of them by an aggregate score of 17-2. EURO facts – Austria • This is the first time Austria have qualified for a UEFA European Championship final tournament – they appeared as co-hosts at UEFA EURO 2008 but failed to win in three games. • Austria's greatest achievement to date is a third-place finish at the 1954 World Cup in neighbouring Switzerland. They last qualified for a World Cup in 1998, when the tournament was staged in France. • Austria played in Saint-Denis at the 1998 finals, losing 2-1 to Italy on 23 June – a defeat which spelled elimination for Herbert Prohaska's side. • Austria are one of four nations – along with England, Italy and Romania – who came through UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying unbeaten (W9 D1).
