Austria vs France Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Austria and France will face off in their first Group stage match on the 17th June at 5pm (GMT). Austria’s recent performances have gained them a lot of attention, having defeated Germany (2-0) and smashing Turkey (6-1), setting a tone that they mean business. France might be one of the favourites to lift this year’s Euro 2024 trophy, but Austria’s recent triumphs suggest this could be an exciting clash. France, despite the odd hiccup, have also been on top form recently, highlighted by a whopping 14-0 victory over Gibraltar. France won the 2018 World Cup and came very close to winning it again in 2022 but lost in a penalty shootout against Argentina. This demonstrates how consistent they are at the highest level, and it’s no surprise with players like Kylian Mbappe at their disposal. Let’s take a deeper look at whether Austria has what it takes to challenge France who are currently ranked 2nd in the world. Keep on reading to uncover our top betting tips for this exciting match. 

Austria vs France Betting Tips

Austria have shown some exciting attacking play under Ralf Rangnick’s guidance, utilising key players like Michael Gregoritsch and Marko Arnautovic to score goals. On the other side, France boast one of the best strikers in the world, Kylian Mbappe, who at just 23 years old, scored 12 World Cup goals surpassing Thierry Henry and Zinedine Zidane. With both teams confidence going into this competition, we expect an all out attack on both sides, which is why we suggest placing a bet on Both Teams To Score, reflecting the potential for a fast paced, open game.  

Austria vs France Match Prediction

Although Austria have taken on a more attacking style of football, France are likely to dominate possession due to the depth and quality of the squad. If it wasn’t for France’s top-tier players, it would be difficult to suggest which way the scales might tip due to recent performances. We believe France will win this match but Austria won’t go down easy, making this an intriguing match. Expect a fast paced match where France will own possession and commit on their attacks, while Austria will likely get some chances of their own on the counterattack. 

Austria vs France Correct Score Tips & Prediction

France boasts formidable attackers such as Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Ousmane Dembele, all capable of challenging rigid defenses. Austria have improved a lot under Ragnick’s leadership, displaying their ability to score against strong teams and an unmatched determination, evidenced by their recent performances. Players like Michael Gregoritsch and possibly a recovering Marko Arnautovic provide Austria with the potential to make this a closely contested match. France’s ability to dominate games through their quick passing and clinical finishing make them our favourite, but Austria’s opposing threats and resilience suggest they will also find opportunities to score. Our score prediction is 3-2 to France.
