In midfield, Zlatko Junuzovic and Majid Ashmeru return to the starting line up, and Mohammed Camara and Enock Mwepu make way while Sekou Koita and Dominik Szoboszlai keep their places to complete a midfield quartet.
Patson Daka maintains his place and will partner Korea Republic forward Hee-Chan Hwang who started Sunday’s match on the bench.
Daka will be looking to continue the fine form that has seen him score seven goals and make one assist in his last five Austrian Bundesliga matches.
The 2017 CAF young player of the year has managed 21 strikes in the league overall and 24 in all competitions this season making him one of the most lethal young strikers outside the top five leagues in Europe.
The kick-off of the match is at 20:30 Central African Time.
