Croatia vs. Turkey Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Croatia vs. Turkey

As the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign nears its final stages, Group D’s leading teams clash this Thursday evening. Croatia will play host to Turkey in Osijek.

Both countries have amassed 10 points each so far in this international campaign, but it’s worth noting that Croatia holds an additional match in their schedule and a psychological edge, having secured victory in Turkey during the earlier stages of the competition.

Despite having participated in this summer’s UEFA Nations League finals, Croatia finds themselves at the top of Group D with one less match played than their qualifying competitors. Remarkably, they have remained unbeaten in their pursuit of a sixth consecutive European Championship appearance.

Croatia vs. Turkey

Having achieved the status of World Cup runners-up in 2018 and, more recently, reaching the finals of the Nations League, Zlatko Dalic’s team has their sights set on shattering their limitations and clinching victory in Germany next year. This ambition coincides with the impending departure of some of their veteran players from the international stage.

What to remember – Croatia vs. Turkey

Announced as co-hosts of the 2032 Euros just this week, Turkey is set to tackle two crucial matches on the journey to next year’s finals. The debut game of Vincenzo Montella as their coach seems likely to result in a loss. Meanwhile, Croatia has the opportunity to extend their lead in Group D with another home victory, while their opponents might find themselves in a tight race for the second spot in the group standings.
