Turkey welcome Croatia to the Bursa Timsah Arena in their second group game of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Tuesday (March 28).
The hosts got their qualification campaign underway with a 2-1 comeback win against Armenia. Armenia took the lead in the tenth minute via Ozan Kabak's own goal. Turkey overturned the deficit, thanks to goals from Orkun Kokcu and Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu in the 34th and 64th minute, respectively.
Croatia, meanwhile, had to settle for a point in their campaign opener in a 1-1 draw with Wales. They took the lead in the 28th minute via Andrej Kramaric, but Nathan Broadhead scored a last-gasp equaliser in the third minute of added time.

Croatia have seen four of their last six games end in draws, but they recorded wins in the World Cupon penalties. They have not kept a clean sheet in five games and conceded from Wales' only shot on target on Saturday.
