Austria vs Turkey Prediction: 2/7/2024

Red Bull Arena will be the stage for Tuesday’s EURO 2024 match between Austria and Turkey, marking their first encounter at a major tournament finals. Austria has shown impressive form in the group stages, securing victories against Poland (3-1) and the Netherlands (3-2), despite a loss to France. The team enters the last 16 clash brimming with confidence. Although Wolfsburg midfielder Patrick Wimmer is suspended, a home victory is likely as Ralph Rangnick has been doing an excellent job with the team. Unfortunately, Real Madrid star David Alaba is sidelined due to injury.

Turkey, meanwhile, earned their spot against Austria by defeating a ten-man Czech Republic in their final group match. Despite their positive results, Turkey’s performances have not been particularly convincing, further bolstering confidence in an Austrian win. Inter Milan’s Hakan Calhanoglu and Panathinaikos defender Samet Akaydin are both suspended for this match. On a positive note for coach Vincenzo Montella, Galatasaray defender Abdulkerim Bardakci returns from suspension.

Prediction: 2-0 victory for Austria.
