France's national football team is in a very difficult situation after four UEFA Nations League games. With only 2 out of possible 12 points, France is in the last spot in Group 1 in League A. With two games remaining, France who won the previous Nations League season now faces possible relegation. On Thursday the team is playing against Austria which is in third place with four points. If France loses tonight, they will be relegated from League A so a win is a must.

During the games in the summer, France managed to score only one goal in each of three games while against Croatia French players didn't put the ball in the net. Almost one year has passed since France's last win in competitive games - one win, two losses, and two draws in the last five games. Austria surprised Croatia and won in the first Nations League game but overall Austria also has only one win in the last five games.

Many France stars won't be able to help the national team but the main player will help - Kylian Mbappe. Maybe that Karim Benzema and Mbappe played together was the reason why France struggled as both players wanted to be leaders. Also, Antoine Griezmann will help France and we can't forget about Olivier Giroud. Injuries have got to the Austrian side as well - Sasa Kalajdzic, Konrad Laimer, Valentino Lazaro, and others won't be able to help the national team.

This century both teams have met four times. Two games were won by France, one went to Austria and in one there was a draw. While losing the last two home games, France has won four out of the last six home games. Austria isn't playing so well on the road - only two wins in six tries. I mentioned that France can't afford to lose and players know that. They need to be in a positive vibe before the World Cup and this game against Austria should be a great turning point.

Mbappe is going to be the undisputed leader and he has scored 10 goals in nine games so far this season. There is no reason why he couldn't score a couple of goals tonight and fans should push them to a very confident victory. Austria is without plenty of experienced internationals and I'm confident that France is going to win with at least two goals.

法国国足在四场欧国联比赛后处境十分艰难。在可能的 12 分中，只有 2 分，法国在甲级联赛中排在第 1 组的最后一名。在剩下两场比赛的情况下，在上一个国家联赛赛季获胜的法国现在面临降级的可能。周四，球队将迎战奥地利，后者以 4 分排名第三。如果法国今晚输球，他们将被降级甲级联赛，因此必须获胜。

在夏季的比赛中，法国队在三场比赛中每场只打进一球，而对阵克罗地亚的法国球员没有将球入网。距离法国上一次在竞技比赛中获胜已经过去了将近一年——过去五场比赛中一胜两负，两平。奥地利出乎克罗地亚的意料，并在第一场国联比赛中获胜，但总体而言，奥地利在过去五场比赛中也只赢了一场。

许多法国球星无法帮助国家队，但主力球员会提供帮助——凯利安姆巴佩。也许卡里姆·本泽马和姆巴佩一起踢球是法国队苦苦挣扎的原因，因为两位球员都想成为领袖。此外，Antoine Griezmann 将帮助法国，我们不能忘记 Olivier Giroud。伤病也影响到了奥地利方面——Sasa Kalajdzic、Konrad Laimer、Valentino Lazaro 和其他人将无法帮助国家队。

本世纪两队交手过四次。法国赢了两场比赛，一场对阵奥地利，一场打平。虽然在最近两场主场比赛中失利，但法国在过去六场主场比赛中赢了四场。奥地利在客场的表现并不好——六场比赛只赢了两场。我提到法国输不起，球员们都知道这一点。他们需要在世界杯前保持积极的氛围，这场对阵奥地利的比赛应该是一个伟大的转折点。

姆巴佩将成为无可争议的领袖，本赛季到目前为止，他在 9 场比赛中打进 10 球。他没有理由不能得分今晚的进球，球迷们应该将他们推向非常自信的胜利。奥地利没有很多经验丰富的国脚，我相信法国至少会打进两球。
