Czech Republic vs Turkey Prediction and Betting Tips | June 26th 2024

Czech Republic and Turkey square off in the final round of the UEFA Euro 2024 group-stage games on Wednesday. Currently separated by two points in Group F, the stakes will be high for both sides who will be looking to book their spot in the knockout stages.

Czech Republic had to dig deep against Georgia on Saturday as they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw at the Volksparkstadion.

A first-half penalty from Georges Mikautadze put Georgia on their way to a first-ever Euro victory but Bayer Leverkusen forward Patrik Schick restored parity 14 minutes into the second half.

This was a huge point for Ivan Hasek’s men, who had kicked off the campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Portugal at the Red Bull Arena on June 18.

Currently level on one point with last-placed Georgia, Czech Republic need maximum points on Wednesday as they risk a repeat of their 2016 group-stage exit.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s dreams of securing the top seed in Group F came to an end last Saturday when they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Portugal.

Vincenzo Montella’s men were punished for their lackluster display as goals from Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and an own goal from Samet Akaydin ensured the star-studded Selecao maintained their 100% record in Germany.

Before that, Turkey kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Georgia on June 18 thanks to goals from Mert Müldür, Arda Guler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu.

The Crescent-Stars' dreams of a place in the knockout stage remain well in their hands and they will be backing themselves against a Czech side who have lost their last three meetings.

Czech Republic vs Turkey Prediction

While Turkey have enjoyed success against Czech Republic in recent encounters, their display against Portugal should give Hasek’s men enough optimism heading into Wednesday. However, we predict both sides will cancel out each other’s efforts in a thrilling draw.
