Euro 2008: Turkey v Czech Republic
Telegraph.co.uk
With identical records, these teams could face a penalty shoot-out to decide who goes through, a prospect both coaches will want to avoid.
You could argue that the momentum is with Turkey after their sterling comeback against Switzerland in Basel. Fatih Terim's side showed an awful lot of spirit, not to mention ability, in grabbing a dramatic last-minute win.
The Czechs only had a decent first half against Portugal and their opening day victory over Switzerland now seems like a long time ago.
Nevertheless, manager Karel Bruckner's change of shape and personnel for the last game was deemed a partial success, particularly the trio who schemed behind Milan Baros. The coach must decide whether to stick with that same eleven or make the odd change.
Terim, on the other hand, doesn't face many selection conundrums.
