Czech Republic vs. Turkey Predictions

• Where: Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, Germany
• When: Thursday, June 27, 03:00 AM

This game will be the ultimate battle in Group F and decide which team advances to the knockout stage of the 2024 EURO tournament. Turkey has two points more than the Czechs, which gives them a better chance of finishing second. However, we can’t say they played better than their upcoming rivals, whose performances looked much better.

Czech Republic vs. Turkey Preview

Czech Republic

If not for Georgia’s extraordinary goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Czech Republic would have secured three points. Now, that would put them in a perfect situation ahead of the last round.

The Czechs have shown admirable resilience in past matches, even against strong opponents like Portugal. Despite losing their pace in crucial moments, they’ve demonstrated high quality in all areas of the game. In the end, we have to say that the last six matches the Czech Republic played ended with both teams netting.

As stated, they demolished Georgia, whose goalkeeper was incredible. Any other keeper in the world would most definitely concede at least two hits that day, but not Mamardashvili.

Turkey

Turkey clinched three points against Georgia with a 3-1 victory but then suffered a harsh 0-3 defeat at the hands of Portugal. They conceded two goals in seven minutes, losing all chances and hopes of staying unbeaten against one of the favorites in the tournament.

It’s noteworthy that Turkey has only won one in their last seven matches. The game against Portugal marked their third scoreless contest in that span. Additionally, four of their previous five encounters saw over 2.5 goals.

This suggests that, overall, they aren’t playing some amazing football. Furthermore, the Turks are in trouble and have plenty of flaws, particularly in defense, which is fragile against more talented attacks.

Czech Republic vs. Turkey Predictions

Although Turkey is in an advantageous position and doesn’t need to attack, we don’t believe they will avoid a defeat against the Czech Republic. Why? There isn’t a system in their games, unlike with the Czechs, whose previous displays left a much better impression. The odds are very high, but we are willing to take some risk here because this pick has enormous value, in our opinion.
