Austria can now focus on the Euros after they finished one point behind Belgium in their qualifying section. They won six times from a possible eight and conceded five points. Das Team got their Euros flowers in 2020, defeating North Macedonia and Ukraine in the group stages before a painful extra-time loss to Italy. Their form suggests a surprise in Group D.
While Poland and the Netherlands will be tough competitors to beat, Austria has scored remarkable results since a 3-2 defeat to Belgium in Euros qualifying. Their coach Ralf Ragnick engineered six consecutive wins before a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in June broke that record. Among the notable wins in that astounding sequence were a 2-0 beating of Germany and a 6-1 destruction of Turkey.

Amid conquering the world in Russia and winning a Nations League title three years ago, France has experienced heartbreaks in their last two major competitions. Les Bleus have had a 24-year drought without continental stardom on German soil. Before ending his contract with PSG and finally joining Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe disappointed by missing a penalty against Switzerland, which sent France to a last-16 Euro 2020 exit.
Some of France’s seven qualifying victories was a record 14-0 annihilation of Gibraltar. While they got an easy 3-0 victory over Luxembourg in their first friendly of the month, a boring goalless draw with Canada on June 9, was hardly the perfect send-off. But, Les Bleus have not won in a group stage since Euro 2012. They held Austria hostage in the recent Nations League cycle to a 1-1 draw June 2022, before a 2-0 victory at Stade de France.
MatchPlug Prediction For Austria VS France
Even without David Alaba guarding the defensive wall, Austria have been a difficult nut to crack with Ragnick at the wheels. They can dream of pulling off an early surprise if their recent records are any indication. France will have been shaken by their recent viral epidemic, but their prolific attackers will eventually break through.
Final Prediction: France Moneyline.
