Turkey vs Ireland – Friendlies Prediction
At one of the friendly matches this Friday in Antalya, Turkey, the home team are against
Turkey and the away team Ireland have their teams facing each other for the first time since 2014, with a Turkish triumph in Ireland at the time, 1-2, in a match at the time also only in friendly mode.
Turkey
The home team comes from a big disappointment in their qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, having made a poor gaming campaign in this series of international matches, having only been in fourth place in Group I, being 7 points behind Iceland’s first team, winning less than half of the matches they played in that campaign.
The team led by Mircea Lucescu comes from a poor performance phase, not knowing how to win since early September 2017, thus registering a total of four matches without knowing how to triumph, having lost three of those meetings.
Ireland
As for the visiting team also comes a big disappointment in their qualifying campaign for the World Championship in Russia this year, having stayed in qualifying zone for the play-off, but ultimately losing in the play-off front to Denmark in a decisive way, eventually being eliminated.
The team comes from a phase of some alternation in terms of results, and in the last match the team were thrashed at home by the Norse, finishing away from the World Cup but eventually keeping coach Martin O’Neill.
Prediction Turkey vs Ireland:
With an Irish team that is relatively consistent from the defensive point of view, where most of their games end with a few goals,
I believe that also in this encounter, in the hangover of a elimination and in a game that counts for nothing in fact, let’s see a balanced game with few goals and intensity.
Prediction Today: At least 2 goals
Odds: 1.68
