Turkey vs Czech Republic will be featured during the Euro 2016 qualification campaign as the two sides clash at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium on Friday, the 10th of October.

The Czechs picked up an impressive victory over Netherlands in their last outing and will now be hoping for another victory on Friday which will bring them closer to clinching a place in the Euro 2016 competition to be held in France.

Manager Pavel Vrba is so confident of securing a place in Europe's top competition that he has agreed to work in a brewery should his side fail to meet expectations. On the other hand if Czech Republic successfully claim four or more points from their next two games every fan who is in attendance for the side's game against Iceland will receive a free beer.

"Just as I believed in this team for the match with the Netherlands, so I trust them in the matches against Turkey and Kazakhstan," he said.

"If we succeed, the fans will drink free beer in the match with Iceland and hopefully be satisfied.

"If we get six points, then I will probably go directly to the brewery for a keg."

Despite being in a buoyant mood ahead of the fixture Vrba's men will be keen to avoid a repeat of the match between the two sides back in Euro 2008, when Turkey qualified to the Quarter-Final of the competition at the expense of their counterparts on Friday.

Czech Republic were leading 2-1 in that match with only three minute remaining but a quick double fire from Nihat Kahveci gave Turkey the lead who advanced to the Quarter Final of the tournament.

Since then the two sides have met twice with Turkey winning the subsequent fixture in 2010 by a 2-1 score line but Czech Republic emerged victorious in the most recent fixture held in 2013 courtesy of goals from Ladislav Krejci and David Lafata.

Turkey on the other hand will be looking for a much improved performance after slumping to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Iceland in their opening Euro 2016 Qualification game. Turkey will be hoping to turn things around this time but will have to do the job without the likes of Arda Turan and Mehmet Topal who have been ruled out due to injuries.

Czech Republic on the other hand will welcome Tomas Necid back to the national side with the 25 year old having last featured for Czech Republic back in 2012.
