An in-form Austria will face a strong contender for EURO 2024 – France. But it should not be forgotten that the team led by coach Ralf Rangnick has never passed the round of 16 in the history of the tournament.
Of course, Austria cannot compare with France in terms of reputation. But Marcel Sabitzer and his teammates have reason to be optimistic and believe in themselves, as the team has lost only 1 of its last 16 matches, with 12 wins and 3 draws.
As for the French team, they have a good relationship in Germany - undefeated in both EURO and World Cup, with 5 wins and 3 draws.
BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton said: “ Some people think Austria will do well at EURO 2024, under the guidance of coach Ralf Rangnick, who made a strong impression after being criticized during his time at Manchester United.
But even if Austria play well against France, Didier Deschamps' team will still find a way to win, most likely .” This expert's prediction: Austria 1-2 France .
In terms of the history of confrontations between the two teams, France won 13/25 matches, while Austria won 9 and only enjoyed joy once in the last 10 meetings - winning 3-1 in the 2008 World Cup qualifiers.
Sportskeeda expert commented: France has an excellent squad and is almost unstoppable on their day. Ousmane Dembele and Mbappe are in explosive form and ready to show it.
Austria has the ability to overcome difficulties but will face a big challenge in the opening match of EURO 2024 when the opponent is France. Prediction, France with superior strength will win, with a score of 2-1 .
Meanwhile, Sportsmole experts have their say: Austria under Rakf Rangnick is a tough squad to break down, while France's preparations for the opening match have been hit by a bit of a snag due to the flu pandemic. However, Didier Deschamps' men will step up to do what's essential: win. Prediction: Austria 0-2 France .
