After a disappointing result at EURO 2020 and a series of dressing room scandals, the French team has come back strongly. They participated in EURO 2024 as world runners-up, after losing to Argentina in the final of the 2022 World Cup. With a squad of stars in their prime, they are considered candidates to win the championship at this year's tournament.

Before thinking about further goals, Didier Deschamps' team needs to win all 3 points in the opening match. A win will help them be more confident in their journey towards the throne.

On the other side of the front line, the Austrian team is also in good form. Since October 2023, they have been unbeaten in 7 matches with 6 wins. However, in all aspects, Ralf Rangnick's army cannot compare to France. Perhaps, a draw will be the result they are aiming for.

In terms of personnel, the Austrian team entered EURO 2024 without many key players. David Alaba, Sasa Kalajdzic and Xaver Schlager were all absent due to injury.

The good news is that right-back Stefan Posch is back from injury and ready to start, while Gernot Trauner's absence from recent training was a precautionary measure.

For France, Kingsley Coman could return in time. However, Aurelien Tchouameni is recovering from injury and Adrien Rabiot is likely to replace him.

In defense, William Saliba seems to be trusted by Deschamps instead of Ibrahima Konate.

Expected lineup:

Austria : Pentz, Posch, Danso, Wober, Mwene, Siewald, Grillitsch, Laimer, Sabitzer, Baumgartner, Gregoritsch.

France : Maignan, Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez, Kante, Rabiot, Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe, Thuram.

The match between Austria vs France takes place at 2:00 am on June 18 (Vietnam time), live on TV360, VTV.
