Thursday, October 6, at 21:45, at Konya plays Turkey – Ukraine, one of derbys Group I, to qualify for the World Cup. The game is refereed by a brigade in Germany, with Manuel Grafe center.
Turkey caused surprise in the first round of these preliminaries, managed to return with a point in Zagreb, the meeting with group favorite, Croatia. Calhanoglu scoring by his team achieved a draw and set the final score 1-1 in last month, putting his team first. Turkey interesting is that going to evolve on their own land, a posture that weighed heavily in qualifying for the European Championship in France, where selected Ottomans defeated teams like Iceland (1-0) and the Netherlands (3-0).
Ukraine has largely dominated the match from the first round of the qualifiers, home court advantage and contribution, however, ended in a draw with Iceland, 1-1, although Evgen Komoplyanka missed a shot from 11 meters with 7 minutes remaining. Ukraine might seem hard at first, that is to play on foreign land, but in the last campaign made reasonable game in the role of visitors, receiving only one goal in five matches. Note that in all those matches have not ever scored by both sides.
Probable teams:
Turkey (4-2-3-1): Babacan; Topal, Aziz, Yokuslu, Ayhan; Ozbayrakli, Calhanoglu, Tufan Koybasi; Mor, Tosun
Ukraine (4-2-3-1): Pyatov; Butko, Kucker, Rakitskiy, Sobol; Stepanenko, Sydorchuk; Yarmolenko, Zinchenko, Konoplyanka; Kovalenko
Turkey has not lost in its last game at home and Ukraine excels in the matches, with a victory sure that vent after 12 years in the qualifiers for the World Cup in 2006.Constiente important outcome of this match, the two will play cautious, fear of losing because they are direct opponents in one of the top two places. In these circumstances, I think the game will not be spectacular, where we see gaps.
