France, a top contender in the tournament, will start their Euro 2024 journey against Austria in Düsseldorf on Monday.
Didier Deschamps’ team has been impressive in recent major tournaments, reaching the final in three of their last four.
They won the 2018 World Cup and were runners-up in the 2022 World Cup. However, in Euro 2020, they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland.
France has a rich history in the European Championship, having won it twice.
Austria, on the other hand, is participating in their fourth Euros, with their best finish being in Euro 2020 when they reached the round of 16.
Kylian Mbappé will be a player to watch, especially after his move to Real Madrid.
It’ll be interesting to see if he can find the net in this Euro after not scoring in Euro 2020.
This upcoming match will mark the third encounter between Austria and France at a major tournament.
Each team has secured one victory, with Austria prevailing 3-2 at the 1934 World Cup, while France succeeded 1-0 in the 1982 World Cup.
Austria has only won one out of their last 10 matches against France in all competitions (D2 L7), a 3-1 World Cup qualifier victory in Vienna in September 2008.
The game is scheduled to start at precisely 7:00 pm local time.
