Austria - Turkey. Predicted line-ups and latest news, – July 2, 2024

The last participant in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 will be determined in the match between Austria and Turkey.

Ralf Rangnick's side unexpectedly won the group with France, the Netherlands and Poland, gaining six points and losing only the opening match of the tournament to the "tricolour". The Austrians topped the quartet thanks to a win over Ronald Koeman's team, thanks to which, as well as France's draws with Poland.

The Turks also won two matches (against Georgia and the Czech Republic), losing only to group leader Portugal. Thanks to this defeat, Vincenzo Montella's side remained second in their group, missing out on the quarter-finalists of the tournament.

If we talk about personnel problems, Austria, firstly, they are connected with a muscle injury of Gernot Trauner, who was injured in the match of the second round of the group stage against Poland.

In the game against the Netherlands, Patrick Wimmer received a yellow card. This warning was the second for him at the tournament, so he will miss the starting play-off match.

The Turks also have major problems with suspensions. One of the main leaders of the team, Hakan Çalhanoglu was also warned in the last match of the group stage, as well as Samet Akaydin. They will not play against Austria.

If we talk about Çalhanoglu, he will be replaced by one of these players: Okai Yokuslu, Kaan Ayhan and Orkun Kokcu, but we predict that it will be the former who will appear in the line-up.

If Juventus star Kenan Yildiz (19 years and 59 days) and Real Madrid's Arda Güler (19 years and 128 days) are in the squad, it will be only the second time two teenagers have appeared in a play-off match at the Euros - and the first since 1964.
