Hapsburg Safavid alliance against the Ottomans

OTL, the Ottoman-Safavid Wars took a lot of pressure off of the Habsburgs. But the French-Ottoman alliance at the least counter-balanced the Habsburg-Safavid alliance. French technical military advice was instrumental in at least one campaign. Internal rebellions were the Ottoman's greatest danger and led to the largest success of the Safavids, albeit temporarily.

Exactly, the Capetians aren't going to let their Habsburg rivals contain the Ottomans, not when they still have Spain and the Netherlands surrounding them.
 
The Safavids were a threat but, The Ottomans under Selim the Grim practically beat them took their capital and drove Ismail to into depression, they didn't keep but, it left them hurting. If Austrian help can turn that around by providing the Safavids military advisers before the reign of Abbas it could bare some fruit.
