MATCH PREVIEW
Victory for World Cup (WC) 2018 hosts Russia in this one would see them move within a point of promotion, whilst simultaneously eliminating their visitors from contention. |
After toiling to a goalless draw against Sweden in their second UEFA Nations League (UNL) Group 2 game, group leaders Russia enter this match unbeaten in five home matches (W2, D3), and unbeaten in five historical H2H encounters with visitors Turkey. |
Turkey came from behind to beat group opponents Sweden 3-2 in their second UNL group game, attaining their first win in seven matches played away from Turkish soil. |
The calendar year of 2018 has been poor overall for ‘The Crescent-Stars’. The nation that finished third at WC 2002 has now won only three of its nine games (W3, D4, L2), keeping just two clean sheets in the process. |
This will be the third meeting between these two teams this calendar year, with each of the H2H matches played in 2018 ending level or being settled by a single goal margin. Each has also seen both teams score. |
Players to watch: 30-year-old striker Artem Dzyuba hit his 15th national team goal in this group’s reverse fixture in Trabzon. |
Emre Akbaba was the hero in his side’s solitary victory against Sweden with two last-gasp goals. The Galatasaray ace has scored two goals in six league games this season. |
Stat attack: Turkey have kept just two clean sheets in their last 12 games in all competitions. |
Six of the last eight matches involving Russia have seen over 2.5 goals scored. |
The same applies to five of Turkey’s last seven matches (including friendlies). |
Both teams have scored in four of the last five games involving Turkey. |
