France begin their Euro 2024 campaign tonight against Austria, following their 2022 World Cup heartbreak. Dider Deschamps’ side are joint favourites on most bookies to win the tournament and it’s easy to see why. The French side have some incredible depth within their squad all over the pitch. And of course, Kylian Mbappe – who is now playing with complete freedom after his ‘dream’ move to Real Madrid was confirmed a few weeks ago.
The French’s plethora of attacking talent isn’t to be sniffed at. Mbappe is one of many key names up front. They will back their chances to score goals and create plenty of chances.
This French team create chances for fun and I’m expecting them to do so tonight. Austria are without some key players here, which the French should capitalise on. Star player and captain, David Alaba, is out with an ACL injury. RB Leizpig midfielder Xaver Schlager is also out with a serious knee injury.
France total shots on target in the Qualifiers: 7, 19, 7, 5, 5, 9, 3, 8.
For this game, I am tipping France Over 5.5 Team Shots on Target @ 1.72
