Türkiye
Türkiye arrive with one of their most talented squads in history. Arda Güler — the Real Madrid teenager who scored goals of the tournament quality at Euro 2024 — is a generational talent. Çalhanoğlu dictates from deep at Inter Milan; Yıldız provides additional star quality from Juventus. Montella's tactical flexibility has shaped a team capable of beating anyone.

Coach: Vincenzo Montella
Tactical Analysis
A versatile 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 with high technical quality throughout. Güler operates as the primary creator with freedom to roam; Çalhanoğlu controls tempo from deep. The team can be devastating on the counter.
Betting Angle
Türkiye's odds frequently undervalue their attacking quality — they are capable of outscoring superior opposition. Both teams to score markets are worth examining given their offensive output.
