Football Results

After two rounds situation in the Group H is such that these two national teams occupy first two places and have won maximal score. France has better goal difference and occupies the first place, which was expected, and it seems that Turkey is on the path to its former glory. The two teams met the last time exactly 10 years ago and France won then by 1-0.

Turkey

The Turks really want to qualify for a major competition and after they didn’t excel in the Nations League, they quite well started this qualifying cycle. Russia and Sweden were too strong for them in the Nations League, but in the first two qualifying rounds they easily defeated Albania away and Moldavia at home. True, these opponents were weaker; however, victories were good for the atmosphere in the changing room, especially as they won with a clean sheet. After that the Turks won friendlies with Greece and Uzbekistan. They are beaming with self-confidence, but Tosun’s absence is a big handicap, who scored two goals against Moldova.

Probable lineups Turkey: Mert – Celik, Ayhan, Demiral, Ali Kaldirim – Tekdemir, Yazici, Calhanoglu, Tufan – Unal, Burak Yilmaz

France

The French are world champions and it was quite expected that they started these qualifications with two triumphs. It was unexpected to not win the first place in the Nations League. The Netherlands did better as the French played poorly against the Dutch away and lost by 2-0, which was their only defeat after the World Cup in Russia. They routinely defeated Moldova and Iceland at home, scoring by four against each team, while few days ago they won friendly with Bolivia by 2-0. A bit different team faced Bolivia, but now the strongest team goes on the pitch, where only Dembele and L. Hernandez are missing.

Probable lineups France: Lloris – Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Digne – Kante, Matuidi, Pogba – Coman, Griezmann, Mbappe

Verdict:

Turkey is in good shape and they hope to knock down the world’s champions. Still, the French is also in a good form and are almost complete, so it will be very difficult to defeat them. We believe that the home team can score a goal, but it is not likely to not receive at least one.

Pick: both teams to score 2.10 - 110/100 @1XBet
