Russia – Turkey Soccer Prediction of the Day

The host of the next World Championship fine-tuned her set-up in the face of her debut on the 14th, measuring Turkey in an international friendly match. Russia did not have a good role in the last Confederations Cup, which was organized for the first time in its history. The host team is preparing its World Cup by measuring up to some of the best selections in the world and doing so in the process of searching for identity.

Last year, at the Eurocup in France, the players that Leonid Slutski headed at that time did not go beyond the first phase. Stanislav Cherchesov was named coach replacing the CSKA coach, but the numbers are not being good. In the last 10 games played, Russia fell to Costa Rica 3-4 in a game played in October. In November, the Russian team traveled to Qatar, falling by 2-1, a result justified by the Superliga being in winter break. Days later, they beat Romania for a short 1-0. Already last March, the host of the next World Cup could not win either Côte d’Ivoire (0-2, and that the Elephants had given a bad image in the African Cup of Nations) or Belgium (tie at 3) . In preparation for the Confederations Cup, Russia beat Hungary 3-0, tying with Chile to 1 in the last friendly before the tournament, in which they beat New Zealand (2-0), but lost to Portugal (0- 1) and Mexico (2-1), staying out in the first phase Since then, the team has played two friendlies, winning South Korea (4-2) and drawing against Iran (1-1).

In the last friendlies, Russia fell to Argentina (0-1) with a goal in the discount, marked offside by Sergio Agüero. Days later, he drew an unexpected draw against Spain (3-3), before falling by 0-3 against Brazil, 1-3 against France and 1-0 against Austria.

Eleven Probable: Akinfeev – Shishkin, Kudryashov, Vasin – Glushakov, Golovin, Samedov, Gazinskiy, Kombarov – Poloz, Dzagoev.
Turkey had a bad role in the last European Championship in France, falling eliminated in the first phase, after not being able to overcome either Croatia or Spain.

He did not fare much better in qualifying for the World Cup, where he also stayed out of this tournament, giving a bad feeling almost from the start.

The generation of talents led by Arda Turan seems to have been halfway and now the Turkish team hopes to rediscover a form of play that will help them return to play the next European Championship.

At the moment, the team was put in the hands of veteran Mircea Lucescu on the bench, a reputed technician who has made the best results in teams like Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St. Petersburg.

Turkey has only won two of the last 6 friendlies, against Ireland (1-0) in March, and against Iran a week ago (2-1).

Eleven Probable: Babacan – Gonul, Toprak, Topal, Koybasi – Inan, Turan, Sen, Malli – Sahan, Tosun.

These two teams faced each other less than a year ago, with a goalless draw in a bland game. The Russians do not know what they play and the Turks, either. Given their moment, the forecast is that they can draw in this uncertain game.

Prediction of the Day: Tie
