Turkey and Croatia to Draw
While Turkey started their journey to Euro 2024 with a win over Armenia away from home, Croatia slipped at home against Wales after conceding a late goal in that match.
So, this will be a very interesting duel and while Croatia has the ability to win this match, Turkey is a good team and they are playing at home. With that in mind, our first Turkey vs Croatia prediction is for the game to end in a draw.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Given that we can see this being a close match, we can see both teams scoring in it as well, which was the case in the last duel between these two teams that ended 3-3.
Furthermore, both teams scored in the last five Turkey matches in all competitions and in four of the last five Croatia games, so our second Turkey vs Croatia prediction is for both teams to score in the game.

Turkey – Croatia Preview: Latest Form, Team News, and Potential Lineups
You can learn all latest news about both teams right here, including our predicted Turkey vs Croatia lineups:
Turkey
After struggling for the past few years and missing the last World Cup in Qatar, Turkey seems ready to take on the competition in Euro 2020 Qualifiers and we've seen them perform well in the first round against Armenia away from home, when they won the match 2-1. However, their next opponent is a much tougher one, but a good result against Croatia would make it a great start for Turkey.
When it comes to team news, Turkey has no injury concerns ahead of this duel.
Turkey Predicted Lineup:
Gunok – Celik, Soyuncu, Demiral, Elmali – Calhanoglu, Ozcan, Kokcu – Under, Unal, Akturktoglu
Croatia
An unconvincing performance against Wales at home in the first round of the Qualifiers ended with a goal conceded in the stoppage time, costing Croatia the win. The team didn't play great in this match and they will have to do much better in the upcoming matches if they want to secure their place at Euro 2024.
Meanwhile, Croatia is in good shape ahead of the game against Turkey when it comes to squad fitness.
Croatia Predicted Lineup:
Livakovic – Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa – Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic – Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic
Starting Lineups
Teams often release their starting lineups an hour before the kickoff.

Player to Watch: Andrej Kramaric
We expect a close game that could end in a draw, but we can also see both teams scoring in this game, so our player to watch is Croatia's forward Andrej Kramaric.
The experienced striker will have to be at his best in order to help Croatia in this match, but he seems to be in solid form and he did score against Wales in the first round, so Turkey should keep a close watch on him in this duel.
