Austria v Turkey Preview

Austria’s Form

Austria qualified for Euro 2024 by finishing runner-up in their qualifying group being ousted to the top spot by Belgium after 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat against the aforementioned Belgium as well as Sweden, Azerbaijan and Estonia scoring 17 and conceding 7. They commenced their year with two friendly wins 0-2 against Slovakia and 6-1 over Turkey. Ahead of the tournament, they had a 2-1 victory against Serbia and a 1-1 away draw against Switzerland.

In their opening fixture at Euro 2024, they fell to a narrow 0-1 loss against the French where they received plaudits for their performances despite the defeat. In their next game, their performance continued, and they were able to earn themselves a 1-3 victory over Poland. They saved their best performance of the tournament for their final group game with a thrilling 2-3 victory against The Dutch which means they topped Group D ahead of France, The Netherlands and Poland.

Their manager Ralf Rangnick was appointed at the end of April 2022 and has transformed the sides' fortunes guiding them to 16 wins (61.54%), 4 draws and 6 defeats in the dugout. In recent times despite tinkering with various four-at-the-back formations, he’s settled on a 4-2-3-1 across all their games in 2024. Austria are an industrious pressing side only Germany (8.8) had a lower pass per defensive action in the group games to their 9.0, they were also second for tackles (61) behind Georgia (63) and top for fouls conceded (49).

Key Players To Watch

Marcel Sabitzer – Austria

In the absence of Alaba through injury Marcel Sabitzer (30) had the task of stepping up the leadership role as Captain at Euro 2024 this summer.

In their opening defeat against France, he had a quiet game but was one of their star performers in their victory against Poland. Sabitzer was a constant threat having 5 shots, winning 1 penalty, completing 2/2 of his dribbles and 23/33 of his passes, always trying to create opportunities.

That was followed by another strong showing against The Netherlands where he tipped off another brilliant performance scoring the 80th minute winner.

Arda Güler – Turkey

Ahead of the tournament much was expected of the Turkish teenage sensation (19) who was coming off a club season with Real Madrid who despite having injury issues still scored 7 times in 13 games.

Arda has a huge future ahead of him though the dynamic attacker can do it all dribble, shoot, pass and stole the show with his stunner in their opening game victory against Georgia.

He will be crucial again in this game, especially with Calhanoglu out through suspension.

Austria v Turkey Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Austria 2-1 Turkey

Austria have arguably been the team of the tournament thus far with Spain the only side who could feel a little hard done by with that claim. But their performances have been strong and consistent since the beginning.

Turkey live with the constant tag of being perennial dark horses for each Euro Championship, but their chances are flying even more under the radar on this occasion with this young Turkish side doing the business so far in the tournament.

I fancy Austria to put in another strong performance and continue their historic run in the competition.

Best Bet: Austria Win+ Under 3.5 Goals @ 17/10
