France possesses a star-studded squad in this tournament and Les Bleus are the clear favourites for this tie. Although Austria does have lesser-known names, they can pack a punch and cause trouble. But with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antonie Griezmann and others who are potent world-class stars, France does have a huge advantage. Euro 2024 is on the verge of an exciting start as France, the World Cup runner-up, prepares to take on Austria in their opening match in Dusseldorf this Monday. Poland and the Netherlands join them in Group D, ensuring a highly competitive environment. The match will begin at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT). France heads into the tournament with strong momentum, having won eight out of ten matches in 2023, with their only defeat coming against Germany. Despite this, their recent performances have been mixed, including a 2-0 loss to Germany in a March friendly and a goalless draw against Canada in their last warm-up game before Euro 2024. Off the field, French players have been outspoken on political matters. Forward Marcus Thuram has called for action against the far right, and Ousmane Dembélé has stressed the importance of voter participation ahead of upcoming elections on June 30. #frANCEVSAUSTRIA #mbappe #euro2024 #footballlive #germanynews #realmadrid
