Today, the play-off stage of the EURO-2024 will be concluded. Romania will face the Netherlands, Austria and Turkey. Of course, the match, which is interesting for us, will start at 23:00.

Although Austria is considered the favorite of the match, there are many who think that the "moon-stars" will also advance to the next stage. I wonder who will win the match? Sports journalist Rasim Movsumzade said the following in his statement to Offsideplus.az:

"If Austria had competed against the Turkish national team in the 2008 or 2016 European Championship, the "Moon-Stars" could be considered the favorites of the pair. Now the situation is different. Today's Austria deserves high places, just like the team of 1978. The game they exhibited does not say that. The task of Turkey will not be easy. We saw the strength of Austria in the game with a score of 4: 1. In March of this year, they lost to the said team with a score of 1: 6 It can be estimated 60/40 in favor of Austria".

Movsumzade noted that the work of Turkey will be difficult in the absence of Hakan Çalhanoğlu:

"The brotherly country is the youngest national team among the teams that advanced to the 1/8 finals according to the average age statistics. Moreover, the suspension of the captain of the team, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, will have a negative impact on the work of the "moon-stars". As for the players, Merih Demiral, who is often remembered for his mistakes in defense, who has been noticed for his lack of confidence in recent years, who left for Saudi Arabia to earn money at the age of 25, did not play, was stingy in passing, and 19-year-old Kenan Yıldız, who was jealous of Arda Güler and tried to get ahead of himself, started It would be more useful for him to appear later, not in the team."

It should be noted that the match will start today at 23:00 Baku time.
