France – Turkey SOCCER PICKS

In qualifying for the European Championship 2020, it remains exciting. So also in the group H, where currently surprisingly not world champion France leads the table, but the revived Turks.

With 18 points, the Turkish selection has scored as many points as the French. In the direct duel of the two teams will now show whether Turkey can defend the group leadership.

The game in the first round went to a 2-0 home win at the Turkish national team. In direct comparison, the French are currently back then. In the next international break, the French selection will meet Albania and Moldova, while Turkey will face a direct duel against Iceland. In addition, the Turkish selection meets on the last matchday Andorra.

These are quite feasible tasks for Turkey. Despite the strong point yield is currently still nothing decided. The bookmaker (s) see the hosts in the match between France and Turkey according to odds. At home, France has not lost since 16 home games and has despite some failures continue to have the better squad available.

Turkey, meanwhile, has won twice in a row with a last-minute goal. However, the “last-minute Turks” will have to significantly increase in the game against France, because with the recent performances, a surprise in Paris will be difficult to achieve.

France:

France has fought against Iceland for victory. Although the Icelanders struggled with their personnel situation and did not send the best squad on the pitch, the world champion’s image of power failed to materialize. Only a penalty from Giroud gave the French in the second round the lead, which then ultimately could be successfully defended.

Now the French national team will be challenged in the home game against Turkey. A home win with at least three goals difference against Turkey would theoretically seal the European Championship participation of the French. In the upcoming two group matches against Albania and Moldova, the team Tricolore needed only one victory.

In the qualifying phase, however, the French selection has not presented itself from the best side, for which there was also a clear indication on the last matchday. Currently, the Equipe Tricolore of national coach Didier Deschamps but has to contend with a large military hospital. Players like Hugo Lloris, Kylian Mbappe, Benjamin Mendy, Samuel Umtiti and Paul Pogba are missing from France due to injuries.

In recent months, however, the French squad has changed again and again because more and more players have joined the injured list. 13 internationals could not be nominated for injury.

Even if some of the top performers are left out, the French have qualitatively the best squad in the group H. It would be a huge surprise if the world champions missed the European Championship in 2020.
At home, France has not lost since 16 internationals. Last time there were six home wins in a row. In Group H, the French selection with 20 goals in the first seven group games is the strongest offensive.

In the starting squad of the Equipe Tricolore are expected to home game against Turkey no major changes.

Turkey :

The “last minute Turks” strike again! In the last two group matches, the Turkish national team secured six points with two last-minute goals and was thus able to manage the group leadership. The tightest possible wins Turkey had urgently needed due to the tight table constellation.

Equal to France, but with the better direct comparison in the group, Turkey remains for the time being the league leaders. Even a draw is enough for the Turks in Paris to continue to defend the group leadership. With only two goals conceded in the first seven group matches, Turkey are one of the strongest defenders in the European Championship qualifiers.

In six of the seven previous group matches, the Turks were able to keep the white vest. Only in the away game against Iceland there were goals. In foreign countries, Turkey was not as strong as it was back home. Two away wins in a row since March 2016 no longer exist. After an away win, there was usually a draw or a defeat.

With the Turkish national team saluting Albania after the home win, Turkey could now pass on sanctions from UEFA. Political messages are strictly forbidden and in the current situation in Turkey the military greeting was considered critical.

In a fairly balanced home game against Albania, the Turks came off lightly with three points. In the match against France, the Turkish selection will have to increase significantly, otherwise a point win in Paris will be hard to realize.
Midfielder Emre Belözoglu will miss the France game for injury. Irfan Can Kahveci is expected to start. Further changes are not to be expected from the starting line-up of the Turks.
