Turkey and Austria haven’t met much in the last 14 years, with only 5 meetings. The head-to-head battle stands at a level with two wins each for Turkey and Austria.
Austria vs Turkey Top Players Predictions
Marcel Sabitzer (Austria):
Marcel Sabitzer is the most experienced star in the Austrian lineup and has been their key to success. He struggled against France in the first game but was the star of the show against Poland and Netherlands. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s work rate is impeccable, and his off-the-ball movement makes him the central figure of Austria’s lineup. Sabitzer has been employed in the attack role by Ralf Rangnick, but it will be interesting to see how he uses it against Turkey.
Arda Guler (Turkey):
Arda Guler is just 19 years old, but he has been a leader in attack for Turkey. He is Turkey’s creative force, and if he finds support from others, Turkey can surely outdo Austria. Guler has been great with the attack but needs to improve his positioning off the ball. However, it will be interesting to see how Turkey will approach this game as they may look to hit on breaks and adopt counterattack tactics.
