Turkey vs Ukraine Prediction & Betting tips
Both Turkey and Ukraine have already finished their season in League B of the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League after five of a total of six match days. While the Ukrainian national football team could decide the first group of the league B with three wins prematurely and stood as the first promoted ever in the league A, so Turkey was less successful. For the Turks, it’s down to league C after their 1-0 home defeat by Sweden last Saturday, regardless of the outcome of matchday six. Two teams that were in the world rankings two months ago will become nations in the coming season League so be spatially separated from each other. For the qualification in the EM 2020, this also does not bode well for Turkey, who is now threatening several havoc. All the more important that the troupe of Mircea Lucescu with a sense of achievement from a generally weak year can say goodbye, while Andriy Shevchenko on the other hand, this game will be used to build up the next generation.
Between Turkey and Ukraine in the betting odds, the home team favors, which is certainly attributable to the fact that Andriy Shevchenko has missed a number of performers a time out and goes with a B-selection in the last international match of the year. In addition, there was a crashing 1: 4 away draw against Slovakia in the insignificant last Nations League match for the yellow-blue. But does that alone between Turkey and Ukraine really allow a tip on the Ay-Yildizlilar?
Turkey:
In the summer of 2017, legend Fatih Terim was put on the door for the fourth time as coach of the Turkish national football team. Mind you after five games in a row without defeat (four wins, a draw), but with a bad score in the qualifying group for the 2018 World Cup. A step that the association may regret today, because under successor Mircea Lucescu was not only the very first match in the Ukraine lost 2-0, but the Romanian coach brought a total of four defeats in his first six games, which the Ay-Yildizlilar were once again condemned to watch at the last World Cup in Russia.
Really improved significantly, the balance of the coach has definitely not. The newly sealed Nations League relegation to League C, where from now on the opponents could be called Georgia or Macedonia, has also brought the EM Quali 2020 further away, unless there is a lot of luck at the draw on 3 December. Turkey has been waiting for another win for three games (one draw, two draws). Even more: in one of the last three games, the Ay-Yildizlilar have scored a goal. Regardless of how Mircea Lucescu continues as a coach, a sense of achievement against league A starter Ukraine would certainly be an important step.
Ukraine:
Andriy Shevchenko is not only the record scorer of the Ukrainian national football team, but he is also now as coach of the yellow-blue an absolute icon and cult figure. Although he was unable to lead the Ukraine to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he was promoted to an elite circle by the fact that he was promoted to league A of the League of Nations. From now on, the Ukrainian national football team is among the top twelve teams in Europe, which is ultimately the clear reward for a fantastic year.
The 1: 4 defeat in Slovakia last Friday was only the first defeat in the entire year 2018, in which there were five wins and three draws in the remaining eight games. In October, Ukraine could even take a 1-1 draw with them in Italy before the 1-0 home win over the Czech Republic sealed the rise in the League of Nations just one week later. That is precisely why Andrei Shevchenko is now also focusing on the youth and has brought with him a number of promising talents who are expected to continue attracting attention in Turkey. Can the young savages from Eastern Europe get the next victory in Antalya?
