Austria France – Euro Prediction

Ralf Rangnick took the reins of Austria in April 2022. He managed to make it a very solid selection. For the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Austrian team found itself in a Group F that was far from simple. However, she made a strong impression. With 6 successes in 8 days, Austria was able to take 2nd place in its group, 1 point behind Belgium. She finished with a nice lead of 9 points over her first pursuer: Sweden. The Austrian selection clearly did not give up during its preparation meetings.

Since the end of the qualifiers, it has had 4 successes in 5 friendly matches. It notably defeated Germany on November 21 (2-0) or Turkey on March 26 (6-1). There is no doubt that she arrives with great ambitions for this Euro 2024. To put herself in the best position in the race to qualify for the round of 16, she will try to hold on to the Blues.

24 years after its last coronation at the Euro, France intends to get its hands on the trophy again!

France does not see it that way. After her defeat on penalties in the final of the 2022 World Cup, against Argentina, she was able to put her mind straight during the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The Blues did not give way to suspense in group B. They offered themselves 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 days, to finish quietly at the top of their group. Didier Deschamps’ men were notably able to beat the Netherlands twice, who were already present in their qualifying group (4-0 and 1-2).

Certainly, the French selection did not shine during its last friendly meetings. In addition to two successes against Chile (3-2) and Luxembourg (3-0), it lost against Germany (0-2) and was held by Canada (0-0). However, it will not be the same motivation from now on. Indeed, 24 years after its last coronation at the Euro, France intends to get its hands on one of the most prestigious trophies on the football planet!

Before Euro 2024, Austria suffered a big blow. Absent since last December, David Alaba was unable to return to compete in the European competition (he is part of the staff for the competition). We are still talking about the face of this selection. However, this is not why we should underestimate Ralf Rangnick’s team.

Marcel Sabitzer was certainly able to digest the defeat in the Champions League final and will intend to shine during the competition. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder was still able to shine this season, with 6 goals and 9 assists. Kevin Danso will also be something to watch closely. The RC Lens defender remains one of the references to his position in Ligue 1. He will have a lot to do to help his team repel the French assaults.

Among the Blues, Didier Deschamps chose to leave with 25 names for this Euro 2024. If Bradley Barcola was called up for the first time for the national team, it is not the biggest surprise. The French coach decided to bring back N’Golo Kanté, who had not played again since June 2022 with the Blues!

A choice that has already paid off. The one who now plays in the Saudi Pro League was very convincing during the preparation matches. Excellent news for the French team since Aurélien Tchouaméni is still uncertain for this match, even though he has been absent since May 8 due to a problem with his left foot.

Kylian Mbappé, the new Real Madrid player, is coming off a prolific season with PSG (44 goals).

There have also been a few glitches in the French ranks in recent days during training. Théo Hernandez, Kingsley Coman and especially Kylian Mbappé had small problems. However, they should not call into question their participation for the first match.

It must be said that Didier Deschamps will really need his captain. Kylian Mbappé, the new Real Madrid player, is coming off a prolific season with PSG (44 goals). He will not be the only offensive asset of the Blues. Rarely disappointing during major international competitions, Antoine Griezmann is still likely to shine during this Euro 2024. Ousmane Dembélé has been very good this year with PSG and will want to continue in Germany.

Concerning the defensive sector, Mike Maignan seems well recovered. He was able to play the entirety of the two preparation matches, while achieving two clean sheets. The AC Milan goalkeeper intends to demonstrate that he is one of the references in his position. Ahead of him, there could also be change.

Indeed, while we expected Ibrahima Konaté, it is William Saliba who is expected to accompany Dayot Upamecano in the central hinge according to the latest rumors. It must be said that the Arsenal player has been one of the best in his position this season. All that remains is for him to shine in the selection!

It’s the Blues’ turn to enter the fray in Euro 2024! France clearly cannot miss before a second meeting which obviously promises to be complicated against the Netherlands. Even if Austria remains convincing in recent months, things look very difficult against Didier Deschamps and his men. The French selection will have enough to show off its status and take its first 3 points in the competition.

It would not be surprising to see several goals during this poster. The last matches of the two selections very rarely end with a single achievement or less. Our Austria – France prediction: victory for France & more than 1.5 goals in the match!
