Austria qualified for the knockout rounds of Euro 2024 as Group D winners by beating the Netherlands 3-2 in a thrilling contest at Berlin's Olympiastadion. Ralf Rangnick's men accumulated six points from a possible nine, finishing ahead of France, who were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw by already-eliminated Poland. Austria's captain, Marcel Sabitzer, struck an 80th-minute winner to secure first place in the group.
Having previously failed to pass the group stage in their first two Euros, Austria's advancement to the knockout phase is a significant achievement. Rangnick's high-energy side is now aiming to reach their first European Championship quarter-final. Austria has won 14 of their last 19 matches, losing just two, under Rangnick's leadership.
Turkey, on the other hand, set up this clash by claiming a dramatic 2-1 win over the Czech Republic in their final Group F game, with veteran striker Cenk Tosun scoring in second-half stoppage time. Vincenzo Montella's youthful squad, which had the second-youngest starting XI on average during the group stage, managed to advance despite losing 3-0 to Portugal. This marks only the third time Turkey has reached the latter stages of the Euros, and the first since 2008 when they made the semi-finals.
Ralf Rangnick will make at least one change as Patrick Wimmer serves a suspension. Konrad Laimer or Christoph Baumgartner is likely to step in. Marko Arnautovic and Michael Gregoritsch compete to lead the attack, while Max Wober, Kevin Danso, Gernot Trauner, and Philipp Lienhart vie for central defense spots.
Vincenzo Montella must do without captain Hakan Calhanoglu and center-back Samet Akaydin due to suspensions. Abdulkerim Bardakci is back from suspension and should join Merih Demiral in defense. Okay Yokuslu, Kaan Ayhan, and Orkun Kokcu will compete to replace Calhanoglu in midfield. First-choice goalkeeper Mert Gunok is expected to start despite a knee injury.
Austria's well-organized and high-energy side should have enough to overcome Turkey's defensive vulnerabilities. Despite Turkey's talented squad, the absence of their captain could be a significant disadvantage.
在柏林奥林匹亚球场进行的一场惊心动魄的比赛中,奥地利以3比2击败荷兰队,以D组第一的身份晋级2024年欧洲杯淘汰赛。拉尔夫·朗尼克(Ralf Rangnick)的球队从可能的9分中积了6分,领先于法国队,法国队出人意料地被已经被淘汰的波兰队1-1逼平。奥地利队长马塞尔·萨比策在第80分钟攻入制胜球,确保小组第一的位置。
此前,奥地利在前两届欧洲杯上都未能通过小组赛,这次进入淘汰赛阶段是一项重大成就。兰尼克的这支充满活力的球队现在的目标是第一次进入欧洲杯四分之一决赛。在兰尼克的带领下,奥地利在过去19场比赛中赢了14场,只输了2场。
另一方面,土耳其队在F组的最后一场比赛中戏剧性地以2-1战胜了捷克队,老将岑克·托松在下半场补时阶段进球。文森佐·蒙特拉(Vincenzo Montella)的年轻阵容在小组赛中拥有平均第二年轻的首发阵容,尽管0比3输给了葡萄牙,但他们还是成功晋级。这是土耳其第三次进入欧洲杯的后期阶段,也是自2008年进入半决赛以来的第一次。
拉尔夫·朗尼克将做出至少一项改变帕特里克·维默将被禁赛。康拉德•莱默或克里斯托夫•鲍姆加特纳可能会介入。马尔科·阿瑙托维奇和迈克尔·格雷戈里奇争夺进攻主力,而马克斯·韦伯、凯文·丹索、格诺特·特劳纳和菲利普·林哈特争夺中卫位置。
蒙特拉必须在没有队长卡尔汉奥卢和中后卫阿卡丁的情况下继续比赛。阿卜杜勒-克里姆-巴尔达克奇从禁赛中恢复,应该和德米拉尔一起防守。尤库斯鲁、阿伊汗和科克库将竞争取代卡尔汉奥卢的中场位置。主力门将古诺克虽然膝伤,但仍有望首发出场。
奥地利这支组织严密、精力充沛的球队应该足以克服土耳其防守的弱点。尽管土耳其队的阵容很有天赋,但队长的缺阵可能是一大劣势。
