Friday evening, from 19:45 pm, Turkey receives the visit of Albania to Sukru Saracoglu from Istanbul, in a match in the 7th round of the European Championship preliminaries of 2020. Ovidiu Hategan, a referee involved by most, will referee the center. or in the victories of the hosts.
In Group H, Turkey ranks 1st, with 5 wins in 6 games and 14-2 goalscoring. Moreover, the national of Semiluna is one of the most powerful countries involved in the qualifications for the Euro! In the leaderboard are France (also with 15 points, but with a weaker goal) and Iceland (12 points). Albania, Moldova and Andorra do not count in the fight for qualifying for the final tournament.
The Turks come after a clear success in Moldova, where the goals of Cenk Tosun, Turuc and Yazici made the difference. With talented players including Hakan Calhanoglu, the Turkish national should continue the good course of the last. However, Albania won 3-2 in their last visit to Istanbul, in a friendly match in 2017! In the preliminary game of these preliminaries, the Ottomans won 2-0 at Tirana, after a game dominated from one end to the other.
Coming after success on home soil with Iceland (4-2) and Moldova (2-0), the Albanian national will play a 4-5-1 ultra-defense in Istanbul, where the possession will be on the side of the favorites. Given that the Turks have won 3 of the last 4 direct duels with the Albanians, our bet is logical. If the score is opened quickly, both of our selections have good chances of success.
PREDICTION: Turkey to win @ 1,40
