Austria vs. France Predictions and Picks
The great favorite for the title, Deschamps' France squad debuts in Dusseldorf against Austria. Les Bleus arrive with the best squad in the tournament, and an almost perfect mix of physicality and talent. Meanwhile the Austrians, with Alaba on the coaching staff instead of the pitch, have changed their way of playing to strengthen their attackers. With Mbappé, Griezmann, Barcola, Dembele and Giroud, anything other than a comfortable victory for the Blues would be surprising. Therefore, the best bet for Austria vs. France is an Asian handicap -1.5 in favor of France at +150 odds.

Over Total Goals
With all of France's firepower in the opposite field, we must account for the offensive capability of an Austria side that was capable of scoring six goals against Turkey, and has added at least two team goals in four of their last five matches. It is a team with a lot of personality, so the Austrians are not going to shut themselves down. In between the exchange of blows, we should see goals in both nets, and at least three total.
PICK: Over 2.5 Total Goals (-118) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Goal by Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe seems free and relieved. His departure from PSG and the announcement of his arrival at Real Madrid has been a soothing release for the striker, who hopes to complete another great tournament. After losing the World Cup final, despite having achieved a hat trick, he seeks to dispel doubts and demonstrate that he is the best player in the world. Against a defense with spaces and openings, Mbappe should add at least one goal.
