Turkey vs Croatia

Turkey’s recent form has been mixed. They had a disappointing UEFA Nations League campaign where they finished last in their group, winning only one match out of six. However, they bounced back with two victories in their 2022 World Cup qualification matches against Netherlands and Norway. Turkey will be hoping to build on those wins and continue their positive momentum.

Croatia, on the other hand, has had a solid run of form in recent months. They topped their UEFA Nations League group, winning four out of six matches. They followed that up with two victories in their World Cup qualification matches against Cyprus and Malta. Croatia’s experience and pedigree make them a formidable opponent for any team.

Preview:

In terms of head-to-head record, the two teams have faced each other seven times, with Croatia winning four matches, Turkey winning one, and two draws. The last time the two teams met was in the group stages of Euro 2016, where Croatia won 1-0.

Prediction:

One factor that could influence the outcome of the match is the venue. The match will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, which gives the home team an advantage. Turkey will be hoping to capitalize on their home support and use it as a boost to their performance.

In summary

This match is expected to be a closely contested affair between two talented teams. Croatia will be favorites heading into the match, but Turkey has the potential to cause an upset. It will be interesting to see how the match unfolds and who comes out on top.
