The unexpected draw of the Czech Republic against Georgia has now opened up a very unpredictable situation for Group F of EURO 2024, as no team has been officially eliminated yet. However, considering the schedule for the final match, Czech Republic vs Turkey will be the two candidates for the remaining spot to advance to the knockout stage, and they will face each other to determine their fate.
First-half odds for Czech Republic vs Turkey
Besides the fact that the Portuguese national team has already advanced as the group leader after the second round of matches, Group F of EURO 2024 is still very lively in the final round as all 3 remaining teams still have a chance to compete for the spot to advance. However, the winning odds for Georgia against Portugal are quite low, so the spot to advance is considered a battle between the Czech Republic and Turkey. In this match, the Czech Republic is at a disadvantage as the team led by coach Ivan Hasek has only earned 1 point after 2 matches and they must win in the final match to advance to the knockout stage. This is not a simple task for the team from Central Europe as the overall performance of the team is relatively unimpressive.
The Czech Republic has shot themselves in the foot by failing to win against the “weaker” Georgia, something that Turkey has done very well. Therefore, the Turkish team has the upper hand and holds the fate in their own hands in the match on June 27. All Turkey needs to do is to earn 1 point against the Czech Republic, which is more than enough for Vincenzo Montella’s team to overcome the group stage obstacle. According to predictions from experts at EURO betting guide, this will be a fast-paced and attractive match right from the early minutes. The Czech Republic needs to seek an early goal while Turkey has never been a team to play defensively. The first-half over/under odds are set at 1 draw, which is a completely plausible choice to place trust in. Prediction for Czech Republic vs Turkey odds: Over goals in the first half
Predicting the full match odds for Czech Republic vs Turkey
Compared to the first 45 minutes, which still involve time for getting into the game, probing the opponent, and cautiousness from both teams, the second half of the match between the Czech Republic and Turkey may be even more explosive. The increasingly shortened time will force the team led by Ivan Hasek to push for more attacking density, and for a counter-attacking team like Turkey under Vincenzo Montella, this will be a ripe opportunity for them to strike back. Although the Czech Republic is the one in need of a win, the bookmakers have set a handicap of -0/0.5 for Turkey. However, this is reasonable when looking at the form and performance of both teams since entering EURO 2024, and the psychological pressure to win from the Czech Republic could make them tense, an important factor to consider when placing trust in Turkey.
Some “value” betting odds are also very attractive, as suggested by the Czech Republic vs Turkey odds analysis based on recent statistics. Firstly, the corner kick over/under odds cannot be overlooked as both the Czech and Turkish teams are extremely reliable in their recent corner kick abilities.2 recent matches of the Czech Republic had 13 and 16 corner kicks respectively, while the same number for the Turkey team was 10 corner kicks in both matches. Finally, the over/under goal bet is a very bright choice based on the situation that Czech Republic and Turkey are likely to create. One team is eager to score to win all 3 points, while the other team possesses a very strong attacking line. The over/under odds are only 2.5, a number within reach for both teams. Prediction for Czech Republic vs Turkey: Turkey -0/0.5, Over corner kicks FT, Over goals FT
