Croatia Team News

Croatia has consistently been among the top-quality European national teams, and they’ve demonstrated this in these qualifiers as well. After four matches, they are at the top of the table with ten points, the same as today’s opponent, Turkey, but with one game in hand.

The hosts only drew their first match, against Wales, on their home pitch in Split. Despite having a lead throughout the game, they conceded a goal in the third minute of injury time, ending the match in a 1:1 draw. Many expected that Group D would become more interesting after this match, especially in the battle for the top two spots. However, Croatia quickly returned to form following their performance in the World Cup in Qatar, winning their next three matches with a crucial 2:0 victory against Turkey in Bursa.

In the October round of qualifiers, Croatia has the opportunity to mathematically secure their place at EURO2024 in matches against Turkey and Wales, and there is no doubt that they will give their all to achieve that.

Turkey Team News

Turkey’s performance in these qualifiers has been inconsistent, and that’s the main reason they find themselves in second place after five matches, despite having played one more game than Croatia.

Turkey started the qualifiers by defeating Armenia 2:1 in the first round, followed by the mentioned loss to Croatia. In the next game, they managed to win against Latvia with some luck and then came a crucial victory against Wales in Samsun. It is likely that these two teams, Turkey and Wales, will be competing for the second spot on the table.

In the previous round, Turkey significantly complicated their position by drawing 1:1 at home against Armenia, allowing Wales to come within three points of them, and there is no doubt that we can expect a fierce battle for promotion to the final tournament until the end of the qualifiers.
