Austria and France are set to clash at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is anticipated to be the most thrilling match of Monday’s schedule. Austria’s coach, Ralf Rangnick, will be missing key players David Alaba, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Hannes Wolf for the EURO 2024 finals. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer will be a crucial player to watch for Austria.
France, on the other hand, had a disappointing goalless draw with Canada recently. However, an away win remains likely as Didier Deschamps rotated his squad in that match. Austria’s defenders will have a challenging task containing Kylian Mbappe, who is set to return to the starting lineup.
In their last competitive meeting, France defeated Austria 2-0, and a similar outcome is expected this time. It’s also worth noting that Lucas Hernandez, Christopher Nkunku, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Mohamed Simakan have been omitted from France’s EURO 2024 squad.
Prediction: 1-2.
