    The Netherlands get us underway...
    19:56
    The sides are making their way out onto the field now.
    19:50
    The Netherlands' best player in their 3-2 win over the Ukraine was Georginio Wijnaldum and PSG will certainly not have buyer's remorse seeing how influential he was in the middle of the park. It will be interesting if Austria have plans to limit his influence tonight.
    19:43
    The Netherlands are favourites at around 4/6, with Austria as big as 5/1 though that price is being brought in with some bookies, unsurpisingly as it looks quite inviting.
    19:34
    Back to this tournament, both impressed in their first game but also showed vulnerabilities. It could potentially be a fine game if they come out to play but it really wouldn't be surprising if Austria in the lion's den look to play for a draw.
    19:25
    The two nations share the distinction of being two of the best and most influential footballing sides of all time, yet both failed to win the World Cup, with the Austrian Wunderteam falling at the semi-final in 1934 to Italy (perhaps aided by the referee, a dining partner of Mussolini) and of course for the Netherlands, they lost the famous final to West Germany in 1974.
    19:13
    Both sides won their first game so it will be interesting to see how they approach this second match with a point effectively guaranteeing them a spot in the second round.
    19:04
    The only change for Austria sees Michael Gregoritsch replace Sasa Kalajdzic. Goalscoring sub Marko Arnautovic is unavailable after receiving a one-match ban for his offensive celebration.
    18:59
    So a big inclusion for the Oranje, with Matthijs de Ligt back in the side replacing Jurrien Timber.
    18:52
    This is the Austrian xi who will take the field at the Amsterdam ArenA...
    18:50
    This is how the Netherlands will be lining up...
