For the European Championships Group F, Czechia face Turkiye and Georgia face Portugal on the final day.

Portugal have already qualified, while Turkiye, Czechia and Georgia can all still qualify for the knockout stage - one in second place and another potentially as one of the best third teams.

Czechia play Turkiye at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

Czechia current form

Czechia were unlucky to suffer defeat in the first game against Portugal as the latter had to rely on an injury-time winner from Francisco Conceicao to claim all three points. Czechia were resolute and defended well for the most part in that one, but just couldn't get over the finish line.

They will have been less impressed with the 1-1 draw against Georgia, but it still put some points on the board. At the moment, they are just the sixth-best third-placed team in the competition so need to defeat Turkiye to qualify.

Turkiye current form

Turkiye has been one of the more entertaining teams in the competition so far as their first two games have produced seven goals.

They won their opener 3-1 against Georgia, but looked way too open in the subsequent 3-0 defeat versus Portugal.

Vincenzo Montella clearly wants his team to play that way - and it is great for the neutral.

Czechia vs Turkiye Team News

Patrick Schick became Czechia's all-time scorer at the European Championships with his goal a few days ago, but he is a major doubt for the Turkiye game due to injury which is a massive blow. Mojmir Chytil and Adam Hlozek are candidates to replace him.

Montella will hopefully have first-choice goalkeeper Mert Gunok back for this one after he missed the Portugal loss due to a knee injury. Altay Bayindir is waiting to deputise again if his colleague can't play.

Orkun Kokcu is a doubt due to a knee injury, but Irfan Can Kahveci and Real Madrid wonderkid Arda Guler should be available for starts after shaking off their respective knocks. Abdulkerim Bardakci is suspended.

Scoreline Prediction

The absence of Schick, if it happens, is a massive blow and Turkiye will look to take advantage with their effervescent forward play to score a couple of goals.

Czechia 1-3 Turkiye
