Austria v Turkey Best Bets
Austria and Turkey have been two of the most entertaining teams to watch at Euro 2024, and all the ingredients appear to be in place for their last-16 clash to feature plenty of goalmouth action. As such, both teams to score holds plenty of appeal at 1.8 on Paddy Power. This bet would have paid out in four of the pair’s combined six group stage matches.
What’s more, there have been goals at both ends in five of Austria’s last six matches, as has been the case in four of Turkey’s past six outings. Across those respective six-game samples, the two nations crossed paths in a friendly fixture, with Austria prevailing by a scoreline of 6-1. Both sides have failed to keep a clean sheet at Euro 2024 to date, so the duo’s strengths clearly lie in attack, making BTTS an attractive option at 1.8.
Marcel Sabitzer netted against the Netherlands and he should play a key part for his country again on Tuesday night. Sabitzer is thriving for Das Team in a slightly more advanced role, as evidenced by the fact that he has scored six times across his last 13 appearances for Austria. The 30-year-old has averaged 1.00 shots on target per game at Euro 2024, not to mention he was averaging 1.14 on-target efforts per 90 minutes during Euro 2024 qualifying.
In a game that has the potential to escalate into a high-scoring shootout, a solitary Sabitzer shot on target stands out at 1.53 on Paddy Power.

📊 Austria Form and Stats
Austria arrived at Euro 2024 on a sharp upward curve and their group stage exploits will have further increased confidence ahead of their tussle with Turkey on Tuesday night.
Ralf Rangnick’s side have avoided defeat in 17 of their last 19 matches, with losses to Belgium and France the only major blots on their copybook during that period. That record is made all the more impressive by the fact that Das Team have only failed to score once across that 19-game sample.
Only Germany (8) scored more goals than Austria (6) during the group stage of Euro 2024, further highlighting the attacking threat that the Austrians carry. What’s more, six different players have scored for Austria at Euro 2024 so far, with that six-goal spread coming from areas all over the pitch.
However, defensively, Austria have been far from watertight, conceding four goals across their three group stage games. Das Team also failed to silence their opponents in their final three matches before Euro 2024, further suggesting they are susceptible at the back.
Marcel Sabitzer scored Austria’s winning goal against the Netherlands, meaning he now has four goals across his last eight appearances for his country, The 30-year-old was averaging 1.00 shots on target per game during the group stage, registering two on-target efforts against the Dutch.
No team committed more fouls than Austria (49) during the group phase of Euro 2024. Right-back Stefan Posch has been the most prolific offender for Austria during the competition so far, giving away an average of three fouls per game, and picking up one yellow card along the way.
📊 Turkey Form and Stats
Turkey’s friendly performances in the lead-up to Euro 2024 set some alarm bells ringing so collecting two wins from three in Group F will have done wonders for their confidence levels and morale. The Crescent Stars’ 3-0 defeat against Portugal on matchday two represents their only loss across their last nine competitive matches, so Vincenzo Montella’s men have perhaps been underestimated ahead of this tie.
Turkey’s make-or-break clash with the Czech Republic on matchday three was a fiery affair that descended into chaos. No nation received more yellow cards than Turkey during the group stage of Euro 2024, with the Crescent Stars racking up 16 cautions, an average of 5.33 per game. Card-heavy clashes were also a running theme during Turkey’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with their fixtures featuring an average of 6.63 cards per 90 minutes. Furthermore, Turkey have received two or more bookings in each of their last nine meaningful matches.
Turkey registered 50 attempts on goal across their three group stage games, a tally bettered only by Portugal (54) and Germany (58). 16 of those 50 Turkish efforts hit the target, including two from right-back Mert Müldür. Like Austria, all of Turkey’s goals at Euro 2024 have come from different players, two of which have been scored by substitutes.
The Crescent Stars were particularly prolific corner takers during the group stage, averaging 7.00 team corners per game. That knack for racking up corners can be attributed to the width provided by full-backs Ferdi Kadioglu and Mert Müldür, who are given plenty of licence to get forward by manager Vincenzo Montella.
⚔️ Austria v Turkey Head-to-Head
Turkey suffered one of their biggest-ever defeats when being trounced 6-1 by Austria in a friendly fixture back in March of this year. Austrian attacker Michael Gregoritsch stole the show in that exhibition encounter by netting his first-ever hat-trick for Das Team. That demolition job could well provide Austria with a bit of a psychological edge ahead of this tie.
The two nations have not come up against each other in competitive competition since playing out a dull 0-0 draw during Euro 2012 qualifying. Austria hold the upper hand when it comes to the overall head-to-head record, having triumphed in nine of the overall 17 meetings, while Turkey have taken top honours on seven occasions.
