Austria battles Turkey in the Round of 16 of Euro 2024 from Leipzig Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Austria vs. Turkey odds, and make our best Euro 2024 bets, picks and predictions.
Austria won Group D, a 4-nation pairing that featured France, Poland and the Netherlands. Austria won 2 of its 3 games, beating Poland 3-1 and Netherlands 3-2 while losing 1-0 to France. It won 3 of its 4 friendlies prior to Euro 2024 and beat Turkey 6-1 March 26, 2024, in one of those friendlies. M Marcel Sabitzer, who plays for Borussia Dortmund, is the stabilizing midfield force for Austria.
Turkey beat Georgia — which lost to Spain 3-1 in the Round of 16 — in its opener, lost 3-0 to Portugal and rounded out group play with a 2-1 win over Czechia. Turkey doesn’t necessarily have a go-to offensive option but MF Hakan Calhanoglu has been a key weapon. Turkey went 0-1-3 (3 losses) in its 4 friendlies leading up to the tournament.

Austria vs. Turkey picks and predictions
Prediction
Austria 2, Turkey 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET AUSTRIA (-110).
Austria was in the most challenging group, one that featured the 2022 World Cup runners-up (France) and another team (Netherlands) that reached the knockout stage. Austria won 2 of 3 games and competed well against France. It also dominated Turkey in a friendly and ended with 6 more shots on frame during that battle.
Similarly, Turkey lost to Portugal which was truly the only challenging opponent in its group. Despite a 20th-minute red card, Czechia still had more shots on frame than Turkey in its last group stage battle.
Austria has the better playmakers and the better coach. It has been far more impressive over the last few months as well.
At these odds, TAKE AUSTRIA (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-108).
While many games in the knockout stage have gone Under, neither team has an ultra-strong defense and both have competent offenses. Turkey has gone Over this total in all 3 group stage games and has gone Over it in 4 straight games in total.
Austria has gone Over in 4 of its last 6 games and in 2 straight. It has scored 3 goals in 2 straight as well, so its offense has been surging. Put it all together and back OVER 2.5 (-108).
