⁠Austria vs France: All-time head-to-head record

Les Bleus are one of the favourites to win Euro 2024.

Despite his unfortunate tenure as Manchester United’s manager, Ralf Rangnick was among several managers who declined the opportunity to take Thomas Tuchel’s place at Bayern Munich. However, he has been genuinely successful with Austria, who travel to their neighbour as one of the continent’s most dominant teams.

Austria, whose attempts to qualify in 2008 and 2016 ended early with no triumphs, will now make their fourth appearance at the Euros after finishing just one point behind Belgium in their preparing section. Austria finished with six wins out of an attainable eight while dropping just five points during the process.

Heartbreak has characterised France’s last two international tournaments, as the team has won three Nations League titles and conquered the world in Russia. However, Les Bleus’s bleak 24-year run without continental success will once again start on German territory.

Kylian Mbappe headed from hero to victim as his missed penalty against Switzerland criticised France for a last 16 departure from Euro 2020. This occurred way before he severed ties with Paris Saint-Germain and finalised his long-awaited switch to Real Madrid. He then walked up to the platform with a smile like lightning to receive his World Cup 2022 Golden Boot after Argentina’s World Cup final victory.

Despite his previous inadequacies and the shadow of Zinedine Zidane; Didier Deschamps, the only man alive to win a World Cup in both management and player roles, continues to be in charge of France’s 11th Euro campaign. Les Bleus made it to the final twice, in 1984 and 2000.
