Austria vs Turkey preview
This match will take place on July 2, 2024, at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, with kickoff at 3:00 PM ET.
After losing to France in their opening match, despite a strong performance, Austria had a lot of work to do to get their Euro 2024 campaign back on track. They responded convincingly with a 3-1 win over Poland and a 3-2 victory over the Netherlands to top their group.
Austria boasts a team full of experienced players, including the clever and skillful Christoph Baumgartner and Marcel Sabitzer. They are a team capable of competing with anyone and should not be underestimated.
Turkey, after an opening win against Georgia, suffered a heavy defeat to Portugal without making much of an impact. However, they bounced back with a win over the Czech Republic, thanks to a goal from their talisman Hakan Calhanoglu. Unfortunately, Calhanoglu's suspension for this match is a significant setback for Turkey, as he is their primary playmaker.
Austria vs Turkey betting picks
Here are two betting angles worth considering for this match:
Marcel Sabitzer to Score
Marcel Sabitzer has been a standout player for Austria in this tournament. Playing in a more advanced role than he typically does in the Premier League, Sabitzer scored in the win against the Netherlands.
With four goals in seven qualifying games and nine shots in three Euro 2024 matches, betting on Sabitzer to score at +300 is appealing.
Florian Grillitsch Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Florian Grillitsch, despite being a deeper-lying player, has been active offensively for Austria. He averaged 1.76 shots per game in qualifying, with 0.88 shots on target per game.
At Euro 2024, he's averaging 1.62 shots per game. Betting on Grillitsch to have at least one shot on target at +200 seems like a solid bet.
