Head coach Sergej Barbarez and player Amar Dedić spoke to the media.

Barbarez: "We expect a very intense game. We’ll have to give our best, but we’ll go in with confidence. I told the players just now that we’re at home, this is our house, and here we decide. Austria’s an intense team. They like to press high and overload the box with players. I think we’re ready and we know how we’ll play. Our analysts are doing a great job, we watch everything."

Dedić: "I know very well what they’re like and how their system works. I grew up in Salzburg, played there a long time, know their football school and their style. Intensity is their main thing, they try to do it through strength and running. They’ve got players for it at the highest level. We have to be ready and answer the same way. Let's not forget we’re at home, in front of our fans, and they need to feel that. All the players can’t wait to show who we are and what we are."
