Austria – France : Preview & Prediction
It has been a very complicated start to the Nations League for Les Bleus. It is a very complicated start to the Nations League for France, despite the fact that they are the holders of the title and have only taken one point from the first two games. Didier Deschamps’ team was beaten by Denmark, their main rival for first place (2-1). It was the first time that a team like Antoine Griezmann’s had been beaten at home by Denmark, and they were unable to get back on track in the next round. It’s not just a matter of the team’s performance, it’s also a matter of the team’s performance in the tournament. They will have to work hard to finish top of the group and reach the Final Four. Indeed, the French team is already five points behind the Danish leader. The French players must therefore get their first win this Friday when they travel to Austria. A victory would allow them to overtake their opponents and conclude the first phase on a high note.
But it’s not going to be that easy. Austria had a great success in their first game of the Nations League. They won easily against Croatia (3-0). Ralf Rangnick’s team then lost to Denmark (2-1). However, they remain in second place in the group. But we are expecting a reaction from Les Bleus in this Nations League. And on paper, there is no photo between these two selections! Especially since Austria did not manage to qualify for the next World Cup. They lost in the play-offs against Wales (2-1). With only one win in their last four games, Austria will have their work cut out if they are to hold off the reigning world champions. Despite the uncertainty of Kylian Mbappé, who is still injured, Didier Deschamps should field a strong team for this match. This will be the first win of the season and will put them back in the running for the top spot.
