09:30 MAIN ROUND HOTS UP IN VIENNA
Although they remain unbeaten, Spain still need another point to be sure of their place in the semi-finals - tonight could be their night against Belarus. Croatia, already qualified, are hoping to add more wins to their tally against the Czech Republic.
Austria play Germany. They will be able to field line player Lukas Herberger, who received a red card in the match against Spain on Saturday. The disciplinary commission decided on Sunday he deserves no further sanctions.
