» Czech Republic vs Turkey Euro 2016 Group D preview: Prediction, team news, live, TV, permutations and betting odds
The Czech Republic will be hoping to book their place in the last 16 of Euro 2016 with a win over Turkey on Tuesday night, with everything still left to play for in Group D.
Pavel Vrba's side kept their dreams of qualifying for the knockout
rounds of the tournament alive when they came from two goals down to
secure an improbable 2-2 draw with Croatia on Friday - shortly after
crowd trouble and flares on the pitch caused the game to be halted.
The Czech Republic are likely to be lifted from that result, and will
now feel confident going into their final group game with Turkey, who
have lost all their matches in France so far.
Fatih Terim's men first lost their opening game with Croatia 1-0
before conceding three times to holders Spain and, with zero points on
the board, Turkey must beat the Czech Republic to have any chance of
progressing to the last 16.
Date, time and venue
The Czech Republic play Turkey at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens on Tuesday 21 June. The game kicks off at 8pm.
Where to watch
The game will be shown live on ITV 4 from 7.30pm.
Team news and probable line ups
Vrba has been handed a huge blow following the news that Tomas
Rosicky is out of Euro 2016 with a thigh injury that he sustained in the
draw with Croatia, but the former Arsenal midfielder has confirmed he
will remain in France to support his teammates.
There are, however, no other major injuries to report from the Czech
Republic camp although Vrba confirmed he will make three to four changes
against Turkey.
Meanwhile, Terim could recall Nuri Sahin to his starting line-up.
Czech Republic possible starting XI: Cech, Kaderabek, Sivok, Hubnik, Limbersky, Plasil, Darida, Skalak, Dockal, Krejci, Lafata
Turkey possible starting XI: Babacan, Gonul, Topal, Balta, Erkin, Tufan, Inan, Ozyakup, Calhanoglu, Yilmaz, Turan.
What they're saying
Czech Republic coach Vrba: "I'd be careful using the word miracle. We managed to get one point [against Croatia], which is very important for us.
"We'll play for everything in the last match. It wasn't going well,
but we've given ourselves a spark of hope to get out of the group.
"There will be changes in my starting XI. Not only because of Tomáš
Rosický’s injury but also because of some of the performances in the
game against Croatia. I am going to make 3-4 changes."
Turkey coach Terim: "Today our national team threw
in the towel. You can be sure that I will never accept this. On behalf
of my team I am deeply upset. I will do the necessary thing."
"It was not good to see Arda booed by our fans. No coach would want
to be in that situation. Arda is one of our most important players. This
should not happen. Nobody deserves it. The way they booed Arda had an
impact on our team."
