Czech Republic vs Turkey Prediction & Match Preview

Czech Republic vs Turkey Prediction

Czech Republic and Turkey are set for the final battle in Group F on Wednesday evening at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

The Czechs need a win to stay alive while a point would take Turkey to the knockout phase. Which team will fulfil their ambitions?

• Turkey go into this encouraged with three straight wins over Czech Republic.
• The Crescent Stars should welcome Arda Guler back to the starting XI on Wednesday.
• Czech Republic will likely be without their main star Patrick Schick through injury.
• Each of Czech’s last six outings across competitions provided goals at both ends.

Czech Republic’s star striker Patrick Schick rescued his national team by scoring the leveller in a disappointing 1-1 draw to Georgia on Saturday afternoon.

It was the Czech’s maiden point of the tournament following the inaugural 1-2 defeat at the hands of Group F winners Portugal.

Turkey have collected three points via a 3-1 victory over Georgia on the opening day. However, they somewhat ruined the impression in a tough 0-3 loss at the hands of Portugal in the second round.

Czech Republic vs Turkey Predicted Lineups and Team News

Patrick Schick was forced to leave the clash against Georgia with a injury just moments after scoring the equalizer.

The latest news says that the match will come too soon for the Bayer Leverkusen’s star forward. His club teammate Adam Hlozek might replace him in the final third alongside Mojmir Cyhtil.

As for Turkey, head coach Vincenzo Montella hopes to have his first-choice keeper Mert Gunok available after he missed the loss to Portugal with a knee injury.

Arda Guler is also expected to retain his place in the starting XI after a groin injury kept him on the bench in the second-round’s clash against Portugal.

Abdulkerim Bardakci is suspended after earning two yellow cards in the opening two rounds.

Czech Republic (3-4-3): Stanek – Holes, Hranac, Krejci – Coufal, Provod, Soucek, Jurasek – Barak, Hlozek, Chytil

Turkey (4-5-1): Gunok – Celik, Demiral, Ayhan, Kadioglu – Yuksek, Calhanoglu, Akturkoglu, Guler, Yildiz – Yilmaz

Turkey to rebound on the final day

Vincenzo Montella has faced bountiful problems with injured players ahead of the 2024 Euro.

Things got worse with the latest injuries ahead of the second-round tie against Portugal. While Turkey looked awful for most part of that game, we have several reasons to back them to get a rebound win on the final day of the group phase.

Firstly, Real Madrid’s wunderkind Arda Guler is expected to be fit to feature in the starting lineup.

Moving forward, the Czechs did not impress so far in the tournament. The fact they got lucky to avoid a defeat against Georgia on Saturday speaks volumes.

Last but not least, Turkey will go into this on the back of three straight wins over the Czech Republic. The streak includes two wins at the European Championships, both in the third round of the group stage.

You can back Turkey to claim the spoils on Wednesday at the attractive 2.75 odds.

Both teams have shown defensive weaknesses so far

Both teams to score is the way to go at the odds of 1.57. Each of Czech’s last six games in all competitions has seen goals at both ends.

Turkey allowed six goals in their previous three outings across competitions. They have also scored three goals in the inaugural round’s win over Georgia.

Both teams were also on target in the most recent head-to-head encounter between these rivals. It was Turkey’s 2-1 win in a friendly in November 2022.
