Portugal have already booked their place in the round of 16 from Group F but two more teams can still qualify from this group as we enter the final round of matches.
The game between Czech Republic and Turkiye will be played on the 26th of June at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg. Czech Republic are currently third in the group on 1 point while Turkiye are second on 3 points.
Czech Republic come into the match having been held to a 1-1 draw by Georgia in their most recent Euro 2024 game.

It was Georgia who opened the scoring from the penalty spot in added time at the end of the first half. Czech Republic came back to equalise in the 59th minute but could not find a winning goal.
The draw with Georgia means Czech Republic are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Faroe Islands and Moldova in European Championship qualifying plus Norway, Armenia, Malta, and North Macedonia in friendlies.
The only defeat came against Portugal in their opening Euro 2024 match.
Trends show Czech Republic have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 games in all competitions.
Czech Republic won only 1 of their last 6 European Championship matches. They have failed to win any of their last 3 fixtures in the competition and have seen both teams score in those 3 games.
Turkiye arrive at the Volksparkstadion having suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Portugal in Group F.
The Portuguese took the lead in the 21st minute and doubled their advantage just 7 minutes later. Into the second half and Portugal scored their third goal in the 56th minute to ensure defeat for Turkiye.
The loss to Portugal means Turkiye have won only 1 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions. The victory came over Georgia in their opening match of Euro 2024 but there have been defeats against Poland, Austria, and Hungary in friendlies, a draw with Italy in a friendly and a 1-1 draw at Wales in European Championship qualifying.
The stats show Turkiye have lost 4 of their last 5 European Championship matches. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of their 7 most recent games in the competition.
Team news and Czech Republic could make a couple of changes to the team that started against Georgia. David Doudera and Pavel Sulc could both come into the midfield.
Turkiye will be without suspended defender Abdulkerim Bardakci so Merih Demiral could come into central defence. Arda Guler of Real Madrid is expected to start in attacking midfield having featured off the bench against Portugal.
Given the recent form of both teams, our algorithm suggests we should see Czech Republic and Turkiye score, with over 2.5 goals in total.
Despite the 3-0 loss against Portugal, if Turkiye cut out the mistakes at the back, they could come away with a victory and progress to the round of 16.
