The crescent-star team will finish the group in second place with a victory or a draw, and will secure their spot in the round of 16 regardless of the result of the other match. If the national team loses against the Czech Republic, they will have to wait for Georgia to lose points against Portugal for a chance to finish third in the group. In such a scenario, if Turkey finishes among the top 4 third-placed teams in the 6 groups, they will still have a chance to advance to the next round. If the national team loses and Georgia wins, the crescent-star team will be eliminated, finishing last in the group.
