Northern Ireland will want to reclaim some pride nonetheless as Michael O’Neill’s side are yet to register a point, and are already guaranteed.
Austria drew 0-0 with runaway Group B3 Leaders Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday, but a squad that includes Bayern Munich’s David Alaba will want to finish off their Nations League campaign with a win. Follow it live:

The 29-year-old has amassed 76 caps and 20 goals for Austria, and will be looking to add to that tally up against Jonny Evans and Craig Cathcart.

(Odds provided by 888 Sport)
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 21 minutes
Nearing the midpoint of the first half at Windsor Park, and no real chances to reflect on so far.
It isn't a flat game by any means, but neither side has produced the quality to yet breach the two defences.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 24 minues
Steven Davis, bizarrely exiled from the Southampton team this season, impressed in his side's game against the Republic of Ireland and has begun nicely here, too, breaking up play well in a reserved midfield role.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 26 minutes
A Norhtern Ireland free kick only finds Martin Hinteregger's head, but the centre half concedes the corner.
The set piece flies all the way through, but Northern Ireland reload and push forward again.
Austria eventually clear their lines after Aleksandar Dragovic breaks up play.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 30 minutes
The game is just threatening to drift away.
Through the first half hour, and not a whole lot to shout about...
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 31 minutes
Liam Boyce plays a through pass and goes down without contact, perhaps tweaking a muscle in his leg.
Kyle Lafferty is sent to warm up, but it appears the Burton Albion striker will continue.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 33 minutes
A lovely driving run from Jordan Jones cutting inside from the left, and he tries to free Boyce running a clever line peeling away out to the space Jones vacated.
Northern Ireland are unfortunate that the through ball bounces off of Boyce's heel and to safety.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 35 minutes
It has become a little perfunctory from Austria in the last few minutes.
They have very little to gain in this game and are without their talisman, and thus the effort levels arenn't quite at their peark.
It remains 0-0, however.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Austria, 37 minutes
Lewis Boyce is fed the ball in the 'D' and looks to turn, but the combined force of Aleksandar Dragovic, Martin Hinteregger and Julian Baumgartlinger crowd him out and clear.
