You can watch the match, in the group stage of the London tournament, on Thursday from 6pm live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
They have each won and lost one match at the season-end event; their meeting on Thursday follows Novak Djokovic, the group leader, playing David Goffin who has replaced the injured Gael Monfils.
Thursday's late match represents an enthralling clash between two of the sport's up-and-coming starlets, pitting Raonic's huge serve against Thiem, who has been tipped to win a Grand Slam by Sky Sports' Barry Cowan.
"If he is to become a top five player then he's got to improve his returns and serves," said Cowan. "But those are two areas they've targeted.
"He's up to eight in the rankings now and he's still got some rough edges.
"He's going to be put into the bracket of a future Grand Slam winner."
Watch the ATP World Tour Finals on Thursday from midday on Sky Sports 1 HD then from 6pm on Sky Sports 2 HD.
