KI: Netherlands, sure! But how close will Austria – Turkey be like? | OneFootball

The last day of the round of 16 at EURO 2024 in Germany is upon us. The tension is slowly rising. After yesterday’s wafer-thin match between France and Belgium and a real drama between Portugal and Slovenia, the next heart-stopping round of 16 could follow today.

Not with Romania against the Netherlands. According to PLAIER’s AI, the 1988 European champions are a pretty safe bet.

After 10,000 AI simulations, there is just a 4% probability that Romania will pull off a sensation and reach the quarter-finals. And the „most likely results“ don’t look much better either.

No, the real nail-biter will be Austria against Turkey. The AI sees the Turks as 54% likely to emerge victorious after 90 minutes. But in a knockout round, that is only a wafer-thin margin of 5% (22% Austria win, 24% draw). Just a glance at the 5 most likely results after 90 minutes reveals suspense and perhaps even the next extra time.

Let’s dive deeper into the game! Finally, an interesting look at the best formations, including the respective goal difference.

Most recently, Turkey only played the 3rd best formation with 4-2-3-1, just like Austria, who have found the second best formation. This will also have an influence on the game and therefore on the result.
