Austria vs France Prediction, 02:00 June 18: Austria's 'drying day'

TPO - Football analysis Austria vs France, EURO 2024 - Information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. In a difficult group including the Netherlands and Poland, the Austrian team understands that every match with them is a final and they must fight with more than 100% of their ability. But against a French team that is superior in every aspect, it seems that the Austrians will easily be "exposed" tonight.

Prediction before the match Austria vs France

France are expected to be a strong candidate for the EURO 2024 championship. This team possesses all the elements to be able to step up to the throne. They have stars in every position, many of whom are experienced names. They have a coach with a lot of achievements and a lot of experience in the top competition.

France is considered the second strongest candidate for the EURO 2024 championship, with a winning rate of up to 19.1%, just behind England (19.9%), surpassing the rest. But France is having many problems in the preparation phase for the tournament. In the last 5 matches, they only won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. A winning rate of 40% brings many worries to this team. Remember, this is the most unstable period for Les Bleus in the past 2 years, since they prepared for the 2022 World Cup.

In contrast, Austria are entering EURO 2024 full of confidence, having gone 7 games unbeaten (W6 D1). Along the way, they beat Germany 2-0, thrashed Türkiye 6-1 and overcame Serbia 2-1. These were impressive victories, showing how well Austria have performed under coach Ralf Rangnick despite their squad never being star-studded.

France have won only two of their last five games.

Form, history of confrontations between Austria and France

That is the luggage for the Austrians to be confident that they can achieve better results than the previous 3 EUROs, when Austria failed to get past the group stage twice and only reached the round of 16 once. This year, the Austrians entered EURO with careful preparation, with a well-coordinated squad, playing together for a long time and each area is dotted with high-class players.

In defence they have Stefan Posch, who emerged last season when he helped Bologna qualify for the Champions League. In midfield is Marcel Sabitzer and in attack is still Marko Arnautovic.

The two teams have a difference in form, with Austria being slightly better. But the head-to-head balance is still completely in favor of the French. Austria has only won 1 match against France in the last 10 meetings (2 draws, 7 losses). In the last meeting, Austria was defeated by France 2-0 in a match where coach Rangnick was completely helpless against his colleagues on the other side of the battle line.

He let the opponent shoot 22 times, 6 on target, while his students did not force the French goalkeeper to work once. The 1-1 draw in 2022 was no exception, when all of France's statistics were many times better than Austria's.

Another noteworthy thing is that France have never lost their first match in the group stage at EURO (W6 D3)

The statistics and numbers do not lie. It can be affirmed that tonight, with the highest determination and the best force, France will once again make Austria "exposed".
