Since the beginning of Euro qualifying campaign, both Austria and France have never score 1 goal or lesser in successive games. Given that France lately blanked against Canada & Austrians scoring only once against Swiss in their most recent match, chance is very high for both teams to score more than once. A goal feast thriller must not be ruled out.
While Mbappe has thus far never fail to score against Austria since joining the national team, his goal(s) may not be sufficient to guarantee a French victory due to a lesser known curse not known by many. For more than 25 years since being crowned World Cup champion in 1998 led by a team of legends, France could only win Austria on alternate occasions, with 50% of these encounters ended with exactly 4 goals and 83.33% ending up with EVEN number of total match goals.
Taking into account that this is a highly cursed night that favours the underdogs, we could well see red card/goal disallowed/own goal for France or penalty awarded for Austria.
Prediction:
Austria +1 handicap
Both teams to score: YES
Odd or even: EVEN
Total goals: 4
Over 2.5 goals
