The Czech Republic and Turkey are set for an intense battle at Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion in Euro 2024, with both teams vying for a spot in the knockout phase.
Turkey currently holds the second spot in the group with three points, and they are aiming for a win to replicate one of their memorable victories from Euro 2008 when they came back from 2-0 down to beat the Czech Republic.
Turkey’s defender Kaan Ayhan is eyeing a second win in the group to secure their advancement.
On the other side, the Czech Republic may be missing key striker Patrik Schick due to injury, making their final group game against Turkey even more challenging.

In their recent friendly match in Gaziantep, Turkey emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic, showcasing their competitive spirit.
The history between these teams, especially the dramatic comeback by Turkey in Euro 2008, sets the stage for an exciting and closely contested match in Euro 2024.
