Turkey vs Albania Prediction & Betting tips
In Group H, Turkey and Albania cross the line on Friday evening. The Turks are currently the surprising leader in this group.
Turkey:
Turkey is well on schedule to be there at the European Championships next year. After six games, Turkey is the leader, with no fewer than fifteen points. With that, the team of national coach Senol Günes remains. The absolute highlight so far has been the surprising 2-0 home win that was booked on world champion France in June of this year. The French are also on fifteen points after six matches.
“The next two games are decisive for us in this group,” Günes said this week. After Friday’s game at the Besiktas stadium, the away game against France is scheduled for Monday evening. Turkey does not of course have to stay ahead of France in the group. The number two is also directly ahead of the 2020 round. Turkey can rely on a solid defense for this qualification series. All five victories were achieved without goals.
Albania:
Albania is also still in the race for a ticket for the final tournament of last year, although the necessary points have to be taken from the last four matches. After six duels, the country is at nine points, which means that the gap with Turkey and France is six points. So on Friday in Istanbul the team has to win by national team coach Edoardo Reja, an experienced Italian, who in the past worked for Lazio Roma, among others.
“This is our last chance to go to the final tournament,” Reja said in the run-up to Friday’s game. “That’s why we don’t go for a draw. Our goal is to leave the field with a win, “said Reja, who is likely to build on the line-up of his team in the final game. Last month Iceland was defeated by the Albanians 4-2.
