Austria vs. Turkey Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Austria vs. Turkey at EURO 2024

Where: Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany
When: Wednesday, June 3, 03:00 AM

Austrians were first in their group, ahead of France and the Netherlands, which needs to mean something. Ralf Rangnick and his crew demonstrated modern and fast football, picking the sympathies of neutral fans across the continent. Turkey had plenty of help in the last round, with the officials definitely hurting the Czechs. Will they know how to use that in the Round of 16, or will they be exposed right away? We’ll see.

Austria vs. Turkey Preview

Austria

The undeserved loss to France in their opening game of the tournament is the only one the Austrians have suffered over the previous ten meetings. Other than that, they posted one tie and eight wins, proving they are one of the best teams in Europe right now when looking at the current form.

Rangnick’s philosophy includes keeping the pace high throughout all 90 minutes, with pressure on the rivals starting right in front of their net. On the other hand, Austrians try not to complicate too much when having the ball in their feet but be very rational and focused, reaching the goal in as few touches as possible.

That’s why Austria scores plenty of goals. Only twice in the past 10 meetings did this unit not net twice during 90 minutes, which only a few other teams at the championship accomplished.

Turkey

So, when looking at the Turkish record at the EURO, we see that they won two matches and lost one, which is more than decent. But how they defeated the Czech Republic was controversial, and who knows what the outcome would be if it weren’t for the Hungarian official.

The opening game against Georgia was more or less leveled, even though they won 3-1. Though, we can’t and won’t say Turks didn’t deserve all three points because that would be unfair.

Meanwhile, Portugal blasted them, 3-0, scoring two very quick goals and easily closing the event. After analyzing the recent results, one thing is certain about the Turkish side – they always deliver high efficiency. Four of the last five saw over 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goal
