Comments on Turkey vs Croatia: Need to balance talent

Group D qualifying for Euro 2024 closed the first round with a little surprise when the strongest team in Croatia unexpectedly let Wales hold a 1-1 draw at home in injury time. With the above result, Modric and his teammates will have to focus more if they do not want to fail in the top 2 task of Group D - the position that will have tickets to the finals.

Going back to the second match, Croatia will have a difficult trip to Turkey's field. According to evaluation, a point obtained in tonight's match is also considered a success with Croatia.

Remember, Turkey is getting excited when it just defeated Armenia in the first round of Euro qualifying. More broadly, they played stably with 7 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the last 9 matches. At home, Turkey won 3 and drew 3 in the last 6 official matches and this is a statistic that worries many Croatian players.

- Turkey: Cakir, Zeki Celik, Soyuncu, Demiral, Elmali, Calhanoglu, Ozcan, Kokcu, Under, Unal, Akturktoglu.

Croatia: Livakovic, Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Vlasic, Kramaric, Perisic.
