Expert prediction

Johannes Sturm, match reporter
Without a win in their opening two games, France have some ground to make up at a sold-out Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna. The question is, who will play? There are question marks over Kylian Mbappé, Moussa Diaby, Presnel Kimpembe, Adrien Rabiot and Christopher Nkunku. Karim Benzema, at least, should be fit.

Austria, meanwhile, have their mojo back under new coach Ralf Rangnick, with an impressive win against Croatia followed by an unlucky defeat against Denmark. They will be serious opponents, regardless of the side France field.

Highlights: Croatia 1-1 France

What the coaches say

Ralf Rangnick, Austria coach: "This match is about confirming the progress that we've shown in our last two games and then taking another step forward. And, of course, it's also about scoring. We have to cut out the mistakes we made at the back against Denmark and create as many scoring chances as possible."

Didier Deschamps, France coach: "After two Nations League matches, we are not in a good position in terms of points. We will do our best to win the match and we will see what our opponents do. These are also preparation matches considering they are played in a short timeframe."
