Croatia's fans wasted no time securing tickets for their European Championships qualification match against Turkey, with all available tickets snapped up within eight minutes. This full house in Osijek will undoubtedly create an electric atmosphere as Croatia seeks to move one step closer to the 2024 finals. Croatia has been impressive in the group so far, remaining unbeaten (3 wins, 1 draw) and securing at least a play-off place. They have lost just one of the last seven head-to-head matches with Turkey (3 wins, 3 draws).

While the three previous head-to-head matches hosted by Croatia ended in draws, the home team has been resilient. Croatia has lost just once at home since November 2020, and that defeat was a 3-0 loss to Austria in June last year. Notably, Croatian fans are eager to see their team in action as they aim to extend a remarkable record of never losing a home fixture (28 wins, 9 draws) since joining UEFA in 1993.

Turkey, which suffered a 2-0 defeat to Croatia at home in March, faces a challenging task. However, they have already secured a play-off spot and currently occupy an automatic qualification place (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Despite recently withdrawing its bid to host Euro 2028 in favor of co-hosting Euro 2032 with Italy, Turkey, under the leadership of manager Vincenzo Montella, is focused on securing a third consecutive finals appearance.

Montella, the former Azzurri man, took over last month, becoming the first Italian manager of the Crescent-Stars since the 1960s. It's a challenging opening game for him, but Turkey's strong record in Qualifiers away matches should provide some confidence. They have lost just one of their last 11 away games.

For Turkey, Bertuğ Yildirim is a potential late-game threat, having scored after the 60th minute in both of their last two international matches. I believe Turkey can remain unbeaten in this clash!

克罗地亚球迷争分夺秒地抢到了欧洲杯预选赛对阵土耳其的门票，所有门票在8分钟内就被抢购一空。毫无疑问，奥西耶克的这座爆满的房子将营造出一种激动人心的气氛，克罗地亚正试图向2024年的决赛迈进一步。到目前为止，克罗地亚在小组中的表现令人印象深刻，保持不败(3胜1平)，至少确保了一个附加赛的名额。在最近7场与土耳其的交锋中，他们只输了1场(3胜3平)。

虽然此前克罗地亚主办的三场正面交锋都以平局告终，但主队一直很有韧性。自2020年11月以来，克罗地亚队仅在主场输过一次球，那次失利是去年6月0比3输给奥地利。值得注意的是，克罗地亚球迷渴望看到他们的球队参加比赛，因为他们的目标是延续自1993年加入欧足联以来主场不败的非凡记录(28胜9平)。

今年3月，土耳其队在主场0 - 2负于克罗地亚队，他们面临着一项艰巨的任务。然而，他们已经获得了一个附加赛席位，目前占据了一个自动出线的位置(3胜1平1负)。尽管土耳其最近撤回了2028年欧洲杯的申办，转而与意大利共同举办2032年欧洲杯，但在主教练文森佐·蒙特拉的领导下，土耳其正专注于确保连续第三次进入决赛。

蒙特拉，前蓝衣军团球员，上个月接任，成为自20世纪60年代以来第一个意大利新月之星的主教练。对他来说，这是一场具有挑战性的首场比赛，但土耳其在预选赛客场比赛中的良好记录应该会给他带来一些信心。他们在过去的11场客场比赛中只输了一场。

对土耳其来说，耶尔德勒姆在比赛后期是一个潜在的威胁，他在最近两场国际比赛中都在60分钟后进球。我相信土耳其能在这场比赛中保持不败!
