Austria and Turkey battle for the final place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
Ralf Rangnick’s side impressed in the group stage, topping Group D ahead of France and the Netherlands despite a narrow defeat in their opening game.
But Turkey also progress with confidence, finishing second in their group after Cenk Tosun’s stoppage-time winner against the Czech Republic.
They would be wise to forget their last meeting with Austria, with Turkey thrashed 6-1 in Wien in March.
