Denmark vs Austria Predicted XI
Denmark Predicted XI (4-3-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Joakim Maehle, Jannik Vestergaard, Joachim Andersen, Victor Nelsson; Mathias Jensen, Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg, Mikkel Damsgaard; Christian Eriksen, Robert Skov, Andreas Cornelius
It’s actually really good to see Ralf Rangnick get a turn out of this Austria team. 3 games into his reign and they have played with real energy and a willingness. I think it shows that the Manchester United job didn’t value him , has them in a good defensive shape as well.
Austria Predicted XI (3-5-2): Heinz Lindner; Maximilian Wober, Stefan Posch, David Alaba; Konrad Laimer, Stefan Lainer, Xaver Schlager, Andreas Weimann, Marcel Sabitzer; Marko Arnautovic, Sasa Kalajdzic

Denmark vs Austria Prediction
Denmark have consistently punched above their weight this year and will need to work hard to keep their place at the top of the group. The Danes were not at their best against Croatia over the weekend and will need to make amends on Monday.
Austria have improved under Ralf Rangnick but remain the underdogs in a difficult group. Denmark are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Denmark 1-0 Austria
