Austria head into the match in excellent form, having won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six matches.
During that run, they scored an impressive 19 goals while conceding only three.
Looking specifically at their last five games, Austria netted nine goals and allowed just three.
Recent victories include a 5-1 demolition of Ghana, a 1-0 win over South Korea and a 2-0 success against Cyprus.
Ralf Rangnick’s side finished top of their World Cup qualifying group and have continued to demonstrate the high-energy pressing style that has become their trademark.
Home form is particularly impressive, with Austria unbeaten in their last 13 matches on home soil, recording 10 wins and three draws.
Team news suggests Patrick Wimmer remains unavailable, while Florian Grillitsch is also a doubt.
Nevertheless, Austria possesses plenty of quality through Marko Arnautovic, Marcel Sabitzer, Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seiwald, and Xaver Schlager.
Tunisia travel to Austria after producing mixed but respectable results in recent months.
The Eagles of Carthage have won two, drawn three, and lost one of their last six matches, scoring eight goals and conceding six.
Across their most recent five outings, they found the net five times while allowing five goals.
Their latest matches produced a 1-0 win over Haiti and a goalless draw against Canada, while AFCON fixtures saw draws with Mali and Tanzania, along with a narrow 3-2 defeat to Nigeria.
Tunisia qualified comfortably for the World Cup after an outstanding CAF campaign, but they have sometimes struggled against elite opposition.
Away form has been solid recently, highlighted by clean sheets against both Haiti and Canada.
Sabri Lamouchi has a fully fit squad available, with key figures expected to include Ellyes Skhiri, Nader Ghandri, Hannibal Ayari, and Hazem Chaouat.
The head-to-head record slightly favors Austria. The Europeans are unbeaten in three previous meetings between the nations, collecting one win and two draws.
Their last encounter came in 2007, making this a relatively rare international matchup.
