Les Bleus haven’t enjoyed the best of warm-up campaigns but we probably shouldn’t read too much into that as they have won all five of their tournament openers under long-serving manager Didier Deschamps.
Clean sheets have been an issue for France, however, and they have just three in their last nine games, with those shutouts coming against the weak attacks of Gibraltar, Luxembourg and Canada.
Austria are in form as they head into the tournament on a seven-game unbeaten run, winning six of those matches, and they have scored in 17 consecutive games - a run stretching back to a 2-0 defeat in Paris in 2022.
France have the quality to make a winning start, but Austria look dangerous and can keep this Group D opener competitive by getting on the scoresheet.
Austria vs France Tip 1: France to win and both teams to score @ +250 with bet365
France superstar Kylian Mbappe was the leading scorer at the World Cup in 2022 and is a clear contender for Golden Boot honors this summer.
Mbappe finished up with 27 goals France’s Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain last season and also weighed in with eight goals in 12 Champions League games.
The Real Madrid-bound forward is the focal point in the French attack and will see chances fall his way on Monday, and he should be able to take at least one of them.
The +300 on offer for Mbappe to open the scoring looks tempting, and he looks great value at evens to score at anytime.
