Turkey vs Russia Prediction & Betting tips
Before the fifth day of the Nations League, there is already a lot of pressure on the Turks. So far the Turkish national team is not doing well. The guest from Russia, however, has a good chance of a win and would thus defend first place in the table.
However, before the game Turkey vs. Russia the odds of the best bookmakers that the game could well be balanced. There is no favorite based on the betting odds, everything is very balanced.
With only three points from four games in Group B of the Nations League so far, the Turks have their backs to the wall. On Sunday afternoon at 17:00 p.m., the hosts have the chance to improve their previously poor record.
Turkey :
The Turkish national team has had some problems over the past few months. The lack of rhythm due to the long break last year is noticeable in many association teams, and this year the extremely tight schedule is added.
Turkey has not won a single game in 2020. That alone shows that the current shape is not exactly ideal. This is substantiated if you look at the table of the Nations League. In their group of League B, the Turks are only in third place.
Before the game Turkey vs. Nevertheless, the odds show Russia that the hosts have a good chance of a positive result.
But a look at the statistics also shows that Turkey is not that easy to beat. Only one of the six games this calendar year was lost – in September with 0: 1 against Hungary. All other five games ended in a draw, including the friendly against Germany, which ended 3: 3.
But how can the quality of Turkey be assessed? The team is definitely dangerous up front, but defensive again and again. Only once could the zero be held this year. And the fact that the last win against Andorra in November 2019 does not necessarily speak in favor of Turkey.
But statistics can always be read in two directions. Only one of the last 13 games was lost. Now, Russia is a very unpleasant opponent, against whom Turkey had big problems in the first leg. That’s why before the game Turkey vs. Russia our forecast that the guests will not lose. Further tips on the Nations League can be found on a betting basis.
Russia :
The Russian national team has a lot to offer. Ten wins in the last 16 games speak for themselves, only two matches were lost in this period. The “Sbornaja” is in good shape and can keep up very well internationally. The dress rehearsal against Moldova (0-0) does not change anything. A lot was tested in this game.
With eight points from four games, Russia has so far led the group in the Nations League and is still unbeaten. The first leg against Turkey ended 1: 1, but Russia was superior for long stretches. Coach Cherchesov has developed well with his team, the Russians are very difficult to beat.
The Nations League also serves to collect important points for the world rankings. Of course, Russia wants to win its own group, and the starting position is very good. The currently 34th in the world rankings wants to build on the first two games of the group phase, both of which could be won.
Many statistics give the Russian team courage ahead of this game. The team has been unbeaten for six away games, and five of these matches have also been won. In addition, the “Sbornaja” scored 19 hits during this period. The last defeat abroad came in March 2019 when Belgium lost 3-1.
