TPO - Austria vs France Football Prediction, EURO 2024 - Team news, predicted lineup, form, head-to-head history. In a difficult group including the Netherlands and Poland, the Austrian national team understands that every match is a final and they must fight with more than 100% effort. But against a French team superior in every aspect, it seems the Austrians are likely to suffer a defeat tonight.
Match preview: Austria vs France
France is considered a strong contender for the EURO 2024 title. The team possesses all the elements to claim the crown. They have star players in every position, many of whom are highly experienced. They also have a highly successful coach with extensive experience at the highest level.
France is considered the second strongest contender for the EURO 2024 title, with a win rate of 19.1%, second only to England (19.9%), significantly higher than the rest. However, France is facing many difficulties in their preparation for the tournament. In their last five matches, they have only won two, drawn two, and lost one. A win rate of only 40% raises many concerns for the team. It's worth remembering that this is the most unstable period for Les Bleus in the last two years, since they began preparing for the 2022 World Cup.
In contrast, Austria is entering EURO 2024 with great confidence, having gone unbeaten in their last seven matches (six wins, one draw). On this journey, they defeated Germany 2-0, beat Türkiye 6-1, and overcame Serbia 2-1. These are very impressive victories, showing how effective Austria is under coach Ralf Rangnick, even though their squad has never been full of star players.
France have only won 2 of their last 5 matches. |
Form and head-to-head history of Austria vs France
This gives the Austrians the confidence they can achieve better results than in the previous three EURO tournaments, when Austria failed to advance beyond the group stage twice and only reached the round of 16 once. This year, the Austrians approach the EURO with thorough preparation, a well-coordinated squad, playing cohesively for an extended period, and each region featuring top-class players.
In defense they have Stefan Posch, a player who rose to prominence last season after helping Bologna qualify for the Champions League. In midfield is Marcel Sabitzer and in attack Marko Arnautovic remains the main striker.
The two teams have a difference in form, with Austria having a slight edge. However, the head-to-head record still heavily favors the French. Austria has only won one match against France in their last ten encounters (two draws, seven losses). In their most recent meeting, Austria was defeated 2-0 by France in a game where coach Rangnick was completely helpless against his counterpart.
He allowed the opposition to fire 22 shots, with 6 on target, while his players didn't force the French goalkeeper to make a single save. The 1-1 draw in 2022 was no exception, with France's statistics far exceeding Austria's.
Another noteworthy point is that France has never lost their first group stage match at the EURO (6 wins, 3 draws).
Statistics and numbers don't lie. It's safe to say that tonight, with the highest determination and their best players, France will once again make Austria suffer a humiliating defeat.
