The bottom two teams in Group A of the UEFA Nations League meet in a crucial Matchday 5 encounter on Thursday.
France and Austria, fourth and third in the four-team group, respectively, face off in a game that both sides will be desperate to win. The French, in particular, did not expect to see themselves at the bottom of the pack heading into the final two matchdays, and will look to use their formidable talent pool to lift themselves back into a respectable position.
Given that this is also the final international break before the World Cup, it could be reasonably expected that France head coach Didier Deschamps will put his best foot forward on Thursday and next week against group leaders Denmark as Les Bleus look to best prepare themselves for Qatar 2022.
As for Austria, the burden of expectation isn't nearly as high, but a positive result on Thursday would serve as both a boost to their own Nations League aspirations while also eliminating a powerful group rival from contention.
