Former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has assembled a well-organised team and victories against Poland and the Netherlands, after a spirited defeat to France in their opening game, saw them emerge as the surprise winners of Group D.

Turkey also have momentum on their side, however, after ex-Everton striker Cenk Tosun's last-gasp winner against the Czech Republic earned Vincenzo Montella's team second spot in Group F.

Austria v Turkey predictions

Austria surprised many by winning Group D, but their ability to find the back of the net and keep it relatively tight at the back was key to their progression.

If the likes of Arda Güler and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are on top form then Turkey will be dangerous, although that may not be enough to halt the Austrians.
