Turkey vs Russia Prediction & Betting tips
The Group 2 of Division B of the League of Nations is occupied with Sweden, Russia and Turkey prominently. Only one nation will be able to play in Division A in the next edition of the competition and compete with teams of the caliber of Germany, England or Spain, while one of the three other countries will face opponents such as Norway, Bulgaria or Cyprus next time must become. All three teams have what it takes to win the group and every game is a perceived endgame. The Swedes can sit back first, because the first game deny the Turks and the Russians. In Turkey’s game against Russia, betting odds go from a tip to home win. However, the home advantage should have a major influence on this.
Turkey:
With a big disappointment, Turkey finished qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In a group with Iceland, Croatia, Ukraine, Finland and Kosovo, the Turks were only fourth with only five points behind the second Croatia. Even before the last matchday it was clear that Turkey would not go to Russia. Overall, Turkey came up with only four wins and three draws and losses at a goal difference of 14:13. Even after the qualification, the footballing Tristesse initially continued. Because both the friendly match against Romania was lost 0-2 and even the friendly match against Albania with 2: 3. But after that there was an increase again.
For in the ensuing and at the same time last five international matches, Turkey again remained unbeaten. The World Cup participant Iran could beat Turkey as well as Ireland. Turkey drew 2-2 away to Montenegro and the Turks were unbeaten in their last two games against World Cup participants Tunisia (2-2) and Russia (1-1). So after Turkey had to play their last international match against the Russians, it’s time to meet again – this time in their own country. In Turkey’s game against Russia, the betting odds hint at the Turks, but a fresh draw would not be a surprise.
Russia:
Four defeats in the last six games, no victory in the last seven games and only one in the last ten internationals. With this record and therefore little hope Russia started on 14.06.2018 in the home World Cup. The result is certainly still known to many. A furious 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia was followed by a 3-1 draw against Egypt on Matchday 2 and early qualifying for the Round of 16. On matchday three, the euphoria in Russia had a small damper when the Sbornaja lost the last group match against Uruguay with 0: 3. But in the round of sixteen, the joy was even greater, as Russia almost sensational World Cup favorite Spain could kick off the competition. On penalties, the Russian shooters kept their nerves, while two Spaniards failed at the towering Igor Akinfeev.
In the quarter-finals, it was then a slightly different picture: Russia went against the eventual vice-world champion Croatia in the lead, but could not hold this and had in the end again in the lottery. There it was then two Russians who could not accommodate their penalty, which ultimately led to the departure of Russia. But the whole country was proud of the achievements and in Russia they agreed: On these achievements and on this team can build up and the good result at the home World Cup should only be the beginning. In the game of Russia in Turkey, one should therefore not be blinded by the odds, because a tip on the score is not necessarily high-risk.
