Both aiming to join Group F winners Portugal in the Euro 2024 knockout rounds, Czech Republic and Turkey lock horns at Hamburg's Volksparkstadion on Wednesday.
The Czechs will have come away from their meeting with Georgia befuddled at their inability to take all three points from a game that saw them outshot their opponents 27-4 and create three times as many expected goals as them, but the 1-1 draw they ended up with left them needing a victory on Wednesday.
Turkey, meanwhile, were far more clinical than Czech Republic in their opener against Georgia, but they proved fragile at the back, shipping three goals against Portugal last time out.

That, coupled with Czech Republic's recent form and their desperation for a victory on Wednesday, makes for a potentially entertaining game.

Czechia vs. Turkey lineups & team news
Czechia are expected to be without the services of star man Patrik Schick, who sustained a calf injury in the draw with Georgia.
The striker saved the Czech side's blushes against Georgia last week by scoring the equaliser but was forced off immediately, and is expected to be ruled out of the match against Turkey.
Mojmir Chytil or Schick's clubmate Adam Hlozek could be the one to spearhead the attack in his absence.
Ondrej Lingr is vying for a first start of the tournament, while David Doudera and Antonin Barak are also options to come into the side should Ivan Hasek try to take the initiative in an almost must-win match.
Czechia starting lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Stanek — Holes, Hranac, Krejci — Coufal, Soucek, Provod, Doudera — Barak, Hlozek — Chytil.
Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler is striving to return to Turkey's starting lineup for the crucial Euro 2024 match against Czechia.
Guler was dropped to the bench in the 3-0 defeat to Portugal, coming on for the last 20 minutes, but Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella confirmed post-game that the 19-year-old was dealing with an injury issue.
Turkey will hope to welcome him back in the starting XI against Czech Republic, with Yunus Akgun likely to be left out if Guler returns. First-choice goalkeeper Mert Gunok (knee) and attacking midfielder Irfan Can Kahveci (knock) are also set to return to the fold but may not start.
Samet Akaydin, who scored an own goal against Portugal, is a major doubt after being subbed off late in that game with an injury issue. Merih Demiral will replace the suspended Abdulkerim Bardakci at the back.
Turkey starting lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Bayindir — Muldur, Demiral, Ayhan, Kadioglu — Yuksek, Calhanoglu — Akturkoglu, Guler, Yildiz — Yilmaz.
Czechia vs. Turkey prediction
- Score prediction: Czechia 2-2 Turkey
Czechia are slight favourites for this meeting in Hamburg, but they just cannot afford to be as profligate as in their opening two games on Wednesday against a Turkey side who know that a draw will be enough to secure the runners-up spot in Group F.
Vincenzo Montella's troops may be shaky at the back, but if their young guns shine brightly they could deliver the goods in the final third. That said, with top spot out of reach, they are unlikely to push too hard for the win, which could make for an entertaining 2-2 stalemate in Hamburg.
