Digi Sport 1. and Prima Sport 1 will broadcast the Ligue A – UEFA Nations League Group A match between France and Austria at the Stade de France in Paris on Thursday 22 September at 21:45.
France, last season’s winners, have had a disastrous run in this season’s Nations League, sitting last in their group with just two points from four matches and making it all but impossible to defend the trophy they won in 2021 with a 2-1 win over Spain in the final.
The Galician Roosters opened with a 1-2 home defeat against Denmark, followed by two impressive 1-1 draws away to Croatia and Austria before losing again at home, 0-1 to Croatia.
Men’s coach Didier Deschamps also has problems in his team: Paul Pogba is recovering from knee surgery, Karim Benzema is injured and absent from Real Madrid’s last few games, and Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez will be out; instead, N’Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud return.
France are at risk of relegation to Ligue B and Didier Deschamps is under pressure as Zinedine Zidane is increasingly tipped to take charge before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar.
Austria started the season with huge success in Croatia, 3-0, but then lost at home to Denmark, 1-2, drew at home with France, 1-1, and lost in Denmark, 0-2; Thus, they are only in 3rd place in the group with four points from four matches (Denmark nine points, Croatia three points).
Since this summer, the coach of Austria is Ralf Rangnik, who was last on the technical bench of Manchester United; the German has a domestic cup and a domestic Supercup with Schalke 04, both in 2011, and has also coached VfB Stuttgart, Hannover 96 (with whom he won the 2.Bundesliga in 2002), Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.
The Austrians cannot rely on Kevin Danso, the RC Lens defensive pillar suspended, but two other centre-backs return, Real Madrid’s David Alaba and Freiburg’s Philipp Lienhart.
The two national teams have met 24 times in all competitions as well as friendlies: France won 12 times, Austria nine times, and there were three draws; the last direct match was played in Vienna with a score of 1:1 in the League of Nations.
Superbet offers odds of 1.40 for the victory of the home team in the match between France and Austria.
