Why is this Eurocup duel important?
In Düsseldorf there will be the debut of one of the main candidates to win the title. France, the world runner-up, will start its journey against a dangerous rival like Austria. It will be a great opportunity to see how the team led by Didier Deschamps arrives and a good test of level. So far, the favorites have not failed (Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and England won in the debut) and France will seek to continue the streak. Austria is a team with arguments to complicate anyone.
Players to watch in France vs. Austria
Of course, the most prominent man is Kylian Mbappé. The scorer from the last World Cup is called to be one of the great figures of the Euro and starting well will be key. In France it will be important, as usual, Antoine Griezmann, and a lot is expected of what he can do in defense William Saliba. For its part, Austria will not be able to count on its great figure, David Alabaa, but trusts in the experience and hierarchy of Marcel Sabitzer, the job of Marko Arnautović and the defensive force of Maximilian Wöber.
