Austria v TurkeyTuesday 2 July, 20:00Live on ITV1

It's hard not to have been impressed by the Austrians at Euro 2024, Ralf Rangnick's side's living up to the tag of dark horses by winning a group containing France and the Netherlands.

In complete contrast to tournament favourites England - who they could meet in the semi-finals - their press is something to behold and it's not difficult to see them causing the Turks all sorts of problems in that area.

Leg 1: Stefan Posch 2+ fouls

They've been aggressive all over the pitch, as evidenced by 10 yellow cards, and a player who has summed up that approach is right-back Stefan Posch.

He's crashed into tackles in every game and it's no surprise to see him leading Austria's foul count with nine.

Those have been split 3-4-2 across the three matches so far and the Bologna man has now committed 2+ fouls in his last six international starts.

He's going to have Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz operating in his area of the pitch which should mean a tough battle and so odds of 10/11 look decent.

The one worry would be referee Artur Soares Dias, who has blown for only 18 fouls in each of his first two games of the tournament.

However, the way these two sides play should see the Portuguese going to his whistle more often - and he's certainly been kept busy in his home country, averaging more than 28 fouls per game in the Primeira Liga.

Leg 2: Kenan Yildiz 2+ shots

That man Yildiz also goes into the Bet Builder for 2+ shots, something he's delivered in all six starts for his country.

He managed six against Czechia the other day and will be a player Turkey look to at the top end of the field.

Leg 3: Stefan Posch 1+ shot

I also like Posch himself in the shots market.

He's been the epitome of a modern-day full-back, driving forward when the opportunity has arisen.

The 27-year-old spent a lot of time in the opposition half when Austria faced France in their opener, while he hit four shots against Poland, where he showed his keenness to drift into central positions to unleash an effort at goal.

13/2 treble.
