EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview

Croatia’s clash with Türkiye will be one of the standout matches in EURO qualification this week, as the stakes will be huge for both sides. That is particularly the case for the visitors, as defeat this week could see them drop down to third in the standings if Armenia are able to pick up maximum points against Latvia. 

Both Croatia and Türkiye will have the added benefit of having the option of a playoff spot if they are unable to finish in the top two spots, but they will likely look to secure their spot in Germany in Group D. Croatia currently sits top of the standings, as they have won three of their four matches in the group. They have been clinical in front of goal to this point, as they have netted nine goals, and have conceded just once. Additionally, they also have a game in hand over all four other sides in Group D.

Türkiye will face a must-not-lose fixture against Croatia this week, as a defeat could leave their fate out of their hands. They are only three points clear of Armenia coming into this fixture after winning three of their opening matches in the group. 

But, they have been a tough side to beat over the last 18 months, as they have suffered just two defeats in their eight international matches. But, they will need to respond on Thursday after losing their most recent international match against Japan in September. 

Croatia vs Türkiye Head to Head

Draws have been a common result when these nations have clashed, as five of the eleven have ended level. Croatia landed a 2-0 win in the previous meeting between the sides, but that was their first win in four matches against Türkiye. 

Croatia vs Türkiye Prediction

Home advantage could be the key trend to consider for this fixture on Thursday. Croatia have been excellent since the start of the World Cup last year, and we fully expect them to take another step toward securing their spot at the EUROs next summer by landing maximum points against Türkiye.
