Austria Under-17s and Denmark Under-17s will both be looking to advance to the European Under-17 Championship quarter-finals when they go head-to-head at the Paralimni Stadium.
Both teams have collected four points from their two matches, with Austria sitting just above Denmark on goal difference.
Match preview
After playing out a goalless draw with Croatia, Austria went on to claim their first win of the tournament in Thursday's clash with Wales.
Mauro Hammerle opened the scoring to give his country a narrow half-time lead, before Valentin Zabransky and Adrian Riegel grabbed a goal apiece to wrap up a comfortable 3-0 victory.
After making an unbeaten start, Austria will head into the final group game with a two-point cushion over third-placed Croatia.
As a result, Austria know that a win will secure them a place in the knockout rounds for the third time, while a draw may not be enough if Croatia win because it would result in a mini-league between the three tied teams which would see them miss out on goals scored.
Martin Scherb's side will head into Sunday's fixture in a confident mood after winning seven and drawing four of their last 11 matches since suffering their most recent defeat to Romania in June 2023.
Denmark kicked off the tournament with a 2-0 win over Wales, before they had to settle for a point in Thursday's meeting with Croatia.
Ajax forward Lasse Abildgaard saw his opener cancelled out by Croatia's Patrice Covic, leaving the two sides level at the half-time interval.
After falling behind in the 47th minute, Denmark hit back through Roberto Risnaes's 60th-minute strike, ensuring that the contest finished as a 2-2 draw.
The Danes know that they must simply avoid defeat to advance, but they will be keen to claim a win that would see them progress as group winners.
Like their opponents, Denmark have proven to be a tough team to beat, having won five and drawn three of their last eight matches since losing to Georgia in October 2023.
