TURKEY vs CZECH REPUBLIC (EURO 2008)

<3.70> <3.10> <1.87>

To be honest, Turkey have a weaker side as compared to Czech Republic. They also have some injury problems - Emre and Gokhan Zan are out for this match. However, the Czechs do not look too threatening going forward in the previous matches against Portugal and Switzerland, whereas the Turks do attack with intent. I think that the goal drought from Czech strikers Baros and Koller will prove to be the Czech's downfall. I won't rule out a penalty shoot out and there's a huge chance this might turn into a goalless draw by the end of 90 minutes, but I want the Turks to win because of the higher odds on it :D

- Roland's prediction: $5 on Turkey @ 3.70 = $18.50

i do not see the czechs winning this one, because of their lack of quality in attack. they struggle to create chances and libor sionko is their main threat, which says a lot about a team. jan koller is not as imposing as he used to be in the air, and on the floor he's a shitkicker. milan baros has never been imposing in the air, and on the floor he's a shitkicker who runs blindly into dead ends.two things could stop the turks from winning - 1) the fear of losing 2) petr cech. with so much at stake, turkey might hold back on their all-out attack which can be quite devastating. holding back might lead to a draw, as the czechs are shitkickers who won't mind penalties. petr cech is a formidable keeper, and will be a formidable presence for the czechs. in a plus for turkey, it seems semih senturk and nihat will be partnered up front, and that should be good for a goal or two.

- Eddy's prediction: $5 on turkey @ 3.70 = $18.50
$5 on draw @ 3.10 = $15.50
$5 on turkey +1.5 @ 1.23 = $6.15
