Two mid-field generals - Andres Iniesta (ESP) and Arda Turan (TUR) - hold the key to their respective team fortunes.
Turkey need captain Arda Turan to spring into action if they are to have a realistic chance of upsetting holders Spain. Turan was one of the most heavily criticised players when Turkey lost their opening match 1-0 to Croatia on Sunday.
The Barcelona player produced very little in attack and not much in the way of tracking back either as Croatia overran the Turkish midfield. He later apologised to the Turkish public, acknowledging that he had played badly.
Thanks to a beauty of a pass from Iniesta, Spain have a 1-0 win over Czech Republic under their belts. History sides with Spain. In 10 international matches, Spain have a 5-1 win-loss record against the Turks.
