Tonight is Ralf Rangnick's first game as Austria manager.
The former Manchester United interim manager left his role as United consultant before it even started so he could focus on his new job.
He left Old Trafford with a record of 11 wins in 29 games.
Croatia assistant Vedran Corluka said: "I expect Austria to come at us at full speed. Coach Rangnick was an advisor at Lokomotiv [Moscow] before I was left and, after our conversations, I get his philosophy. I am sure they will go 100%, but we are looking for victory too."
David Alaba misses out for Austria after a quick turnaround from winning the Champions League with Real Madrid.

Belgium v Netherlands (19:45 BST)
Belgium lost to France in the semis of last year's Nations League and they want to go further this time.
The only official football competition they have ever won was the 1920 Olympics.
Defender Jan Vertonghen said: "Playing in the Nations League final four last year has really opened my eyes.
"The tournament may not yet have as much prestige as the World Cup or the European Championship, but who knows: in 10 or maybe 15 years it might.
"Imagine the immense regret if we had the chance to win but just didn’t take it seriously enough. And naturally we want to give our fans a trophy."

"I have been in regular contact with Didier on the phone since Tuesday," said former Senegal boss Stephan.
"He is in mourning but he is strong. He won't be here but he will be back soon.
