Team News

Quotes
"If you take the last Euro as an example, we had a premature exit. When you win, everything is perfect," France coach Didier Deschamps said ahead of their clash with Austria.
"But when you lose, the details that don't matter always take focus. At a very high international level, winning is very difficult and maintaining it is even more difficult, because only one team wins and then the others don't sleep.
"What keeps me going is the passion, the desire and the determination. What interests me is always having new objectives."
Head-to-Head
Austria and France have met 25 times across all competitions. Les Bleus have won 13 games compared to Unsere Burschen's nine wins while three matches ended in a draw.
The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 2-0 win in favour of France in the UEFA Nations League on 22 September 2022.
