This is going to be one fascinating game. The winner of this game clinches the second spot in the group, while the loser is likely to go home as a third-place team. However, the winner would also be guaranteed to face Spain, while the third-place team faces Switzerland, and a draw sees both teams through. It’ll be interesting to see if either team has motivation to win this one, and the lineups give us some clues. Let’s see who Algeria and Austria will be deploying in their starting XI for this match.
