Jamie Kennedy has cast his eye over Monday's action at Euro 2024 and picked out a bet involving one of the favourites to lift the trophy.
Austria vs France (Monday, 20:00)
France will make their first appearance at Euro 2024 when they face Austria at the Merkur Spiel-Arena on Monday night.
Didier Deschamps’ side are among the bookies’ favourites to be the last team standing this summer, despite drawing with Canada in a friendly match before setting off for the Euros.
Last week’s performance would, therefore, suggest France could face an early test of their title credentials against Austria.
Ralf Rangnick’s side pushed Belgium all the way in qualifying and arrived in Germany, having lost just one of their last 16 matches.
That impressive run of form has led to many pundits touting the Austrians as potential dark horses this summer.
So rather than backing France at unattractive short prices, instead consider a bet on both teams to score at 4/5 with Betfred.
Austria have had plenty of joy in front of goal of late, scoring in 17 straight matches, netting twice or more in 11 of those fixtures.
Therefore, the in-form Austrians would appear to have the tools to test France’s defence in Dusseldorf on Monday night.
Les Bleus’ backline has been breached in five of their last nine matches, with both teams getting on the scoresheet in each of those five games.
However, Austria are not the most reliable side at the back either, with Das Team conceding one goal or more in six of their most recent 10 fixtures.
The Austrians have also been involved in their fair share of matches with goals at both ends of late, with BTTS landing in all bar four of their last 10 outings.
So with all the ingredients in place for an entertaining game in this Group D clash in Dusseldorf, going for goals at both ends is the selection at 4/5 with Betfred.
