Coulthard's Jaw Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Austria are predicted as the most likely side to win inside 90 minutes by the Opta supercomputer, which gives them a 49.3% win probability. This will be the first meeting between Turkey and Austria at a major men’s tournament. Rangnick’s side are a brilliant pressing unit. Only Germany (8.8) had a lower PPDA in the group stages than Austria (9.0), while they were second for tackles (61) behind Georgia (63) and top for fouls conceded (49). Turkey love to get on the front foot, too. Indeed, only Portugal (5.8) and Spain (5.4) had a higher non-penalty expected goals (xG) total than Turkey (5.2) in the groups, while Vincenzo Montella’s team were also third for high turnovers (28), behind Croatia (34) and Portugal (30).

GunmaN1905 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Can't see Turkey holding up against Austria's pressing without Calhanoglu. They could win, but they're definitely going to be on the back foot and trying to counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Calhanoglu is a big miss for Turkey. It'll be close, but I fancy Austria to win again - and set up another thriller against the Dutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of stupid that it's only two cards for suspension up to quarter-final. Should be two for third group game suspension and then add one more in knockout stage.

ceefax the cat Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) 15 minutes ago, DJ said: If you need loads of fouls to win, there is a price for that. being suspended after X number of cards in X number of games isn't really an immutable law of football though, and clearly we've all decided that it's farcical not to draw a line at some point and start again, because we accept that yellow cards happen and we don't want loads of players suspended for big games without having really done much wrong We're just saying that it would be better to draw the line a bit earlier. Nobody's championing foul play, but having a potential ban potentially hanging over you for 3 games just for 1 booking seems pretty harsh, especially in a tournament that lasts 7 games max. I'd be perfectly happy if it was just "bookings in successive games = 1 match ban" on a rolling basis. What's the point of having someone miss a once-in-a-lifetime quarter final for getting booked in games 1 and 4?
