The game in Bordeaux will be the 138th meeting of the two nations, but their first encounter in a decade and their first competitively in more than 30 years.
Their only previous clash at a major tournament came in the quarter-finals of the 1934 World Cup in Italy, when Austria won 2-1, and Marcel Koller&rsquo;s men are the favourites to come out on top again this time.
Propelled by star man David Alaba, Austria were superb in qualifying and the Bayern Munich full-back will be the man to watch out for against Hungary.&nbsp;
