Group F decider will send at least one of these teams home
The stakes will be high when Group F wraps up on Wednesday with Czech Republic and Turkey facing off in their bids to qualify for the Euro 2024 knockouts.
Only a win will guarantee a spot in the last-16 for the Czechs after Georgia held them to a 1-1 draw last time out.
Turkey were well beaten by Portugal to leave them at risk and another defeat in Hamburg would likely see them miss out on one of the four third-placed spots in the next round.
But they have a good recent record against Czech Republic and a fascinating finish to this group awaits.
Czech Republic vs Turkey is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday June 26, 2024.
The match will take place at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg.

The Czechs are sweating over an injury to Patrik Schick ahead of the game.
Merih Demiral could replace the suspended Abdulkerim Bardakci in the centre of the Turkish defence.
Real Madrid winger Arda Guler will hope for a recall with changes likely following their defeat to Portugal.
Both sides have looked shaky for much of this tournament which makes for a very difficult-to-predict finale, with so much on the line.
A 1-1 draw.
Turkey have won their last three meetings with the Czechs, most recently in a November 2022 friendly.
Czech Republic wins: 5
