Vincenzo Montella’s Turkey dreams of a place in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. However, the Turkish national team will also have to pass the Czech Republic test, in search of useful points to keep their hopes of qualifying for the play-offs alive. In the last round, Turkey was beaten by Portugal who secured the lead in Group F with 6 points.
As a result, the Turkish team remained at 3 points, holding a two-point advantage over the Czechs and Georgians. Turkey will therefore be able to take advantage of a draw to secure second place in the group, unlike the Czech Republic who will instead have to do their best to overtake the Turks and place themselves behind the Portuguese. Challenge entrusted to Romanian Istvan Kovacs, with kick-off set for 9.00pm
HOW THE CZECH REPUBLIC ARRIVED – Coach Ivak Hasek will have to deal with the absence of Patrick Schick, stopped by a muscle problem. The transition will therefore be from 3-4-3 to 3-4-1-2, with Stanek in goal and defense made up of Holes, Zima and Krejci. In the lanes instead there is room for Coufal and Jurasek with Soucek and Sadilek in the middle of the field. Provod in the back three, behind Chytil and Hlozek.
HOW TURKEY ARRIVES – Montella, on the other hand, will start again from 4-2-3-1. Cakir should act in goal, with Celik and Kadioglu in the lanes. Demiral instead should take Bardakci’s place, pairing up in the middle with Akaydin. Calhanoglu, on the other hand, was untouchable, supported by Ayhan as director. Attacking midfielder Kokcu, with Guler and Yildiz on the lanes. Yilmaz sole striker.
