The situation in Group F is developing as expected, considering Portugal have already secured the next phase with two wins in two games, and the other three teams are fighting for the remaining spot(s).
Czech Republic managed to maintain its perfect streak of appearing in the EURO since the split with Slovakia. In this tournament, the Czechs won only one point and are in third place. They were unlucky in the first two games against Portugal and Georgia and objectively deserved more. If they were just a little luckier, they would have at least two or three points more. Now, they are under pressure to win the game against Turkey because they need all three points to secure the second stage.
Turkey appeared in the previous two EUROs but finished the competition in the Group phase. Now, in this EURO, they are in a good position to secure the knockout phase because a draw against Czech Republic will be enough for the second stage. They are in 2nd place with three points, and even though they were in a good position before the last game in the group, we weren't impressed by them. Even if they secure the next stage, we do not think they can make a big run in the knockout phase.
Czech Republic vs Turkey pick: Over 2.5 goals
Czech Republic have nothing to lose in this match, and they have to open up. So far, they have scored only two goals (one against Portugal and one against Georgia). However, they were super unlucky against Georgia and deserved at least a couple more goals. They had an incredible 26 goal attempts and 3.09 xG! So, even though they haven't scored much, we strongly believe they will do well against Turkey.
Turkey scored over 2.5 goals in both matches in this EURO. Their offense is pretty potent, and we believe they can score against the Czechs, who made mistakes defensively in the first two games allowing easy goals. Additionally, Turkey have significant defensive flaws, and we do not think they can keep a clean sheet against anyone in the tournament. They only kept a clean sheet once in the last eight games in all competitions.
Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.

Turkey team news
The team's starting central defender, Abdulkerim Bardakci received a second yellow card against Portugal and will serve his one-game suspension. Additionally, another starting central defender, Samet Akaydin, suffered an injury in the previous game and might miss the rest of the tournament. With both central defenders out, we will most likely see Merih Demiral and Ahmetcan Kaplan at the back.
After a 3:0 loss against Portugal, coach Vincenzo Montella spoke to the media. He said they had their chances but did not capitalize. He also said they played on the same level as one of the best teams in the tournament but weren't clinical. "It was an even match, and the bad luck of the second goal changed the balance of the game," the coach added.
