Euro 2024 Prediction
Let’s go to Düsseldorf, the Merkur Spiel-Arena and the first appearance of the second major candidate for the title, France. At 21:00 GMT on Jun 17 they will need to defeat Austria to justify the claim. While the last victory of the Österreichers dates back to 2008 and a 3-1 score at home, 3 other matches since have resulted in 2 wins for Les Bleus and a draw. However, we may have a different set of circumstances here to consider.
Austria vs France hides traps
The home side have played 5 friendlies. The results can only be considered as amazing. 2-0 win over Germany, 6-1 rampaging over Türkiye, 2-0 over Slovakia and 2-1 over Serbia. The only ones that were able to hold them to a draw where the Swiss (1-1). For the other side, it looks rather grim. Loss 2-0 to Germany, a 0-0 draw against Canada, a narrow win with 3-2 over Chile and an easy walk over Luxembourg with 3-0.

However, it is not the first time that the French displayed the predicament at the beginning of a tournament, correcting things in the process and making it to the final (even claiming the title at the end).
