Austria - France: betting tip for the World Cup match

Current form

Austria is currently in the sixth position of the Group A standings and has scored two points in total. The national team is definitely not capable of claiming anything more than maintaining a residence permit in the Top Division. The team was initially considered a strong middleweight who could cling to points in a match with a clear favorite, but who constantly lacked stability.

Recall that the Austrians played their best match of the tournament against Sweden, when they had a real chance of winning, but missed it at the very end. Fortunately, in the confrontation with Slovakia, the national team played more reliably and defeated Victoria with a score of 3:2 in shootouts, although they also had a two-goal advantage and almost missed two points.

Oddly enough, Roger Bader's team is playing pretty well defensively this year and coping with the onslaught of powerful opponents, often conceding no more than two or three goals. However, the Austrians do not play very well in attack either and usually score about two goals per match.

Disqualifications and injuries

To date, Austria has no problems with the composition.

Current form

France remains one of the main outsiders of its group and is on the penultimate line of the standings. The national team currently has one point and is ahead only of Slovenia, which has not scored a single point so far. It should be noted that the French are on a four-game losing streak, although they have already been close to success several times.

Let's remind that earlier they lost their match against Finland (3:4 OT), and after a big defeat against Canada (0:5) they had every chance to win against Slovakia, but lost with a score of 1:2. In the confrontation with the Slovaks, Yorick Trey's squad was seriously let down by deletions in the third period of the game. During the final twenty minutes, she broke the rules three times due to fatigue, for which she paid with a missed puck, which became decisive.

By the way, it is the third period of this tournament that is the most unsuccessful for France, since at the moment it has a 2:8 ratio in terms of goals scored and missed.
