Year after year, the Turkish national team had missed the qualifications for a World Cup. In the European Championship, however, the Turkish selection 2016 could qualify for the European Championship 2016 in France, but there was no singing and singing in the group stage. With the promising generation of the Turkish selection the euphoria was great, to follow up on the glorious World Cup times 2002 and mix up again.
Neither Fatih Terim nor Mircea Lucescu succeeded in changing the Turks. Now a well-known face is on board again: successful coach Senol Günes, who has already led the Turks to third place at the 2002 World Cup, takes over the national team. Since his debut as a coach, the game of the Turks has improved significantly, as evidenced by the achievements in the European Championship qualifying group.
After already the preparation game against Greece was sovereignly won 2-1, Senol Günes wants to burn even at the dress rehearsal before the European Championship qualifiers nothing. At the home game between Turkey and Uzbekistan speaks for a tip on the home side especially the latest form. Since the coaching by Senol Günes all three international matches have been won. In addition, the Turks always scored at least two goals. Even at the home game against Uzbekistan, it is quite realistic that the recent trend of the Turks will continue.
In the young dynamic offensive of the Turkish national team it remains to be seen how Turkey will present against France next week in the European Championship qualifiers. Anything but a home win would be a big surprise for our Turkey against Uzbekistan forecast. On Sunday evening, the last dress rehearsal before the European Championship qualification at 19:00 (CET) in Antalya!
Turkey :
In the youngsters in the squad, the young make the Turkish supporters great hope. The “golden generation” is meanwhile being dreamed by the Turks, even if the euphoria under Lucescu has somewhat disappeared. The change is to be continued under Senol Günes and the achievements so far under the new coach have been seen so far. There were three victories under Senol Günes. With two victories in the European Championship qualification, the Turks already dream of the ticket to the European Championship. The duel against France next week will be groundbreaking for the Turks, especially since the first round match against the top favorites in the group rises in front of a home crowd.
If the Turks take away countable things against France, it would be a big step in the race for the European Championship ticket. Then there is also the important duel against Iceland. In the game against Greece Senol Günes put on a rather young starting eleven, but was rewarded with strong offensive football. Ünder, who has been diving a bit at club level this season, was able to contribute to the team’s success with his outstanding goal.
The overall package is correct in the Turks currently, only the team must now tie in the important qualifiers to the benefits. Senol Günes has already coached the traditional club as Besiktas coach and is now helping the national team to their old strength. On the offensive, the Turkish selection showed a strong performance, especially on the wings. It remains to be seen how Senol Günes will choose his starting team to play France.
At the home game against Uzbekistan Günes can rotate again. There are not likely to be any changes in the defense, though the defensive did not look good in Greece’s last-gasp win. The Turks are in the European Championship qualifier before two important games against France and Iceland. Therefore, there will be little room for error. At the last dress rehearsal against Uzbekistan, the Turkish team can shoot again.
Uzbekistan:
For the Uzbekistan national team it will be the first international match since the China Cup in early March. The year 2019 was not really perfect for the Uzbeks so far, especially since the team was eliminated in the Asian Cup in the second round of Australia. The Uzbeks actually showed a strong performance, but were punished for lack of opportunity exploitation by the Australians on penalties. Overall, the Uzbek team could win only one of their last four international matches.
Since January 2017, Uzbekistan have not played a test match against a European team. At the last meeting with a European national team, there was a 2: 2 draw against Georgia at the beginning of January 2017. Convincing achievements have been sought in vain in the recent past, which was also proven by the weak performance in the World Cup qualifying group. Not even the third group place could be conquered by the Syrian national team. Hector Cuper tries his luck after the unfortunate World Cup with the Egyptian selection now in Uzbekistan, has since his debut but had no great success.
Most players in the Uzbek squad play in the domestic league. There are only five legionaries in the squad, of which only one player plays in a European league. The two legionaries Shormurodov (FC Rostov) and Ahmedov (Shanghai SIPG) lead the scoring list in the current selection. Shomurodov scored 11 goals in 34 appearances, while captain Ahmedov scored 17 goals in 94 appearances.
For Uzbekistan are in addition to the international match against Turkey still preparatory games against North Korea and Syria. In the away game against the Turks it will be a real test of endurance for the team of Hector Cuper. For a surprising success of his team Turkey are offered against Uzbekistan sensational odds on an away win.
PREDICTION: Turkey to win @ 1,40
