PREVIEW & TIPS FOR Turkey vs Latvia
Turkey can do excellent business on Tuesday evening in group G of the World Cup qualification, when the leader in Istanbul is visited by football midget Latvia. However, a stunt by the visitors would mean great news for the Dutch national team.
Turkey Team News
We may call Turkey the big surprise of this international period, because after the handsome 4-2 victory over the Netherlands, the country also convincingly put the Norway of Haaland and Odegaard aside with 0-3 last weekend. With a victory over weak brother Latvia, the Turks take a huge step towards a top two final classification in group G of the World Cup qualification.
The experienced national coach Senol Gunes has his team well on track, with players such as Caglar Soyuncu, Hakan Calhanoglu and Burak Yilmaz as reliable pillars. However, there is a chance that this trio will get a rest on Tuesday-evening, since they were all already in the base against the Netherlands and Norway. In addition, Merih Demiral is still not fit. The Turkish danger against Latvia will therefore probably have to come mainly from Cenk Tosun and former FC Twente attacker Enes Unal.
Latvia Team News
Latvia is one of the countries playing this World Cup qualifying series purely for bacon and beans. After the 1-2 home loss against Montenegro last weekend, the Netherlands also turned out to be too strong for the number 136 of the FIFA world rankings. It was that the Orange did not have a sharp eye and that goalkeeper Roberts Ozols only played a great match in his fifth international match, otherwise the score in the Johan Cruijff Arena would have risen much further than 2-0.
In Istanbul, Latvia will undoubtedly barely cross the middle line. With a small defeat, national coach Dainis Kazakevics could probably live just fine, and in the event of a draw or victory, a nice party will be built in the dressing room of the visitors. However, that chance is very small, because Latvia is really nothing at all. Almost all players are still active domestically, and the few foreigners play in meaningless leagues like those of Ireland, Finland, Poland and Ukraine.
