The game will also be on talkSPORT 2, BBC Radio 5 Live and on the BBC Sport website and App.

This is only the 4th meeting between the sides. There have been 2 draws with the other match ending in victory to Austria.

Iceland have only lost 1 of their last 8 competitive matches. They go in to this match having made fewer successful passes than any other side at the tournament.

Austria are aiming to progress from a group stage of a major tournament for the first time since the 1982 World Cup.

Permutations:

Iceland need a win to have any chance of topping the group - which would only happen if Hungary failed to beat Portugal; a draw would put them through in second place unless Portugal won, which would put them through as a best third side, and a defeat would knock them out in either third or fourth.

Austria need a win to go through in second place - or as a best third side if Portugal beat Hungary.

Gudmundsson hits the bar for Iceland with a screamer.

Almost a massive howler by Iceland keeper Halldórsson that let in Arnautovic.

I don't know if we have ever played each other before, so it would be nice if that match were to happen.

We've played them twice. A 1-1 draw in 1982 and a 6-1 win in 2004.
