The Blues are gaining strength and can even offer themselves a little respite. After a well-controlled start to the main round against Croatia then against Iceland, adversity increased a notch for Guillaume Gille’s men, Monday January 22 against Austria in Cologne. At the top of Group I, the French team can secure, with a victory, one of the first two places synonymous with qualification for the semi-final.
Increasingly convincing offensively on Saturday against Iceland, the Tricolores will face a real test against the Austrians, a big surprise of the competition and among the best defenses of this Euro. Like France, Austria has still not been beaten and remains with two choice performances by beating Hungary, then by hanging Germany in front of its audience. The meeting promises to be decisive for both teams. A match to follow live with commentary.
