Austria and France will face off at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what promises to be the most exciting match of Monday’s schedule. Austria’s coach, Ralf Rangnick, will be without key players David Alaba, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Hannes Wolf for the EURO 2024 finals. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer will be a key player to watch for the home team.
On the other hand, France had a lackluster performance in their recent goalless draw with Canada. However, an away win is still likely as Didier Deschamps rotated his squad against Canada. Austria’s defenders will need to keep a close eye on Kylian Mbappe, who returns to the starting lineup. In their last competitive encounter, France defeated Austria 2-0, and we predict a similar outcome this time. Notably, Lucas Hernandez, Christopher Nkunku, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Mohamed Simakan have been left out of France’s EURO 2024 squad.
Prediction: 1-2.
