⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 26 June 2024 - 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Volksparkstadion (Hamburg)

The Czech Republic faces a must-win situation against Turkey in their final Group F match at Euro 2024. With only one point from two games, the Czechs need a victory to have any chance of progressing, while Turkey, with three points, could potentially secure a top-two finish with just a draw.

Historical head-to-heads favor Turkey, who have won five of the last eight encounters, including victories in Euro 2008 and 2016. However, the Czechs' recent form shows promise, having scored in the second half of their last nine games.

Turkey started the tournament strongly with a 3-1 win over Georgia but suffered a 3-0 defeat against Portugal. Their inconsistent goal-scoring record, having failed to score more than once in six of their last seven games, could be a concern for coach Vincenzo Montella.

The Czech Republic's performance will likely hinge on their attacking prowess, especially if star striker Patrick Schick remains doubtful due to injury. Turkey's captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who scored the winner in their last encounter, could be a key player to watch.

⚡ Match Facts: Czech Republic have scored at least one second-half goal in their last nine games. Turkey have failed to score more than one goal in six of their last seven matches.

💡 Prediction: This crucial match is likely to be a tightly contested affair with both teams aware of the high stakes. The Czech Republic's need for a win could push them to take more risks, potentially leaving them vulnerable to Turkey's counter-attacks. Turkey's experience in recent tournaments and their historical edge over the Czechs might give them a slight advantage. However, the Czech Republic's tendency to score in the second half could lead to a late equalizer or even a winner. Expect a closely fought match with momentum shifts, ultimately ending in a 2-2 draw, which might be enough for Turkey to progress but could spell elimination for the Czech Republic depending on other results.

Betting Tips:

• Both teams to score
