“We haven’t been out of our group since 2008. We want to continue making history.” Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella believes it.
However, winning against Austria is far from being a given. Especially after the 6-1 defeat by Ay-Yıldızlılar in a friendly match on March 26. During the group stages, the Turks defeated the Czech Republic (2-1) and Georgia (3-1) but lost to Portugal (0-3).
Austria in force
Austria, for its part, has impressed at the start of the competition. 0-1 against France, 3-1 against Poland and 3-2 against the Netherlands. Das Team will be able to take advantage of the absence of Turkish captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu and defender Samet Akaydin, suspended for the match.
