Austria and France are set to clash at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is anticipated to be Monday’s most thrilling match. Austria’s coach, Ralf Rangnick, will have to navigate the EURO 2024 finals without key players David Alaba, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Hannes Wolf.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is expected to be a crucial player for the home team.
France, meanwhile, is coming off a lackluster goalless draw with Canada. Despite this, an away win remains likely as Didier Deschamps rotated his squad for the Canada match. Austria’s defenders will need to be vigilant against Kylian Mbappe, who is returning to the starting lineup.
In their last competitive meeting, France won 2-0 against Austria, and a similar result is predicted this time. Notably, Lucas Hernandez, Christopher Nkunku, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Mohamed Simakan are not included in France’s EURO 2024 squad.
Prediction: 1-2.
