France vs Austria: Football Whispers' Predictions

The experts of good soccer tips commented: France have really struggled in the Nations League this season, failing to secure a single win from any of their opening four group games. The hosts simply must win their remaining two fixtures this week if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the knockout round. Austria provide the opposition in France on Thursday and having already held their hosts to a draw in the reverse fixture, the visitors will fancy their chances against a weakened French squad.

Austria Double Chance

Austria have picked up 4pts in Group 1 so far, including a draw against the French back in June. France have lost two and drawn two of their opening four group games and head into Thursday's match without a host of first-choice players, leaving their squad lacking a lot of experience, especially in midfield. Austria have picked up two draws and a win from their last five meetings with the French, so you can see why we have backed the visitors with a double chance bet.

Both Teams to Score

There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch when these two countries go head-to-head. Four of the last five meetings between France and Austria have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, while four of France's and four of Austria's last six outings in all competitions have also ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard.

France still searching for their first win in Group 1

France followed up their 1-1 draw with Austria by losing 1-0 at home to Croatia when the last set of Nations League games took place in June.

The visitors are missing a couple of regular players but still head to France with a strong squad capable of coming away with a decent result.
