Turkey Republic of Ireland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two teams with little expression in European football, both will be out of the World Championship in Russia, which will be played next summer. Both teams have few participations in the World Cup, but Turkey has evolved a lot since 2002, when it made an excellent campaign and finished the World Championship in third place. Ireland has also shown some improvement, but it seems a bit downcast after being out of the World Cup due to the humiliating defeat suffered against Denmark in its stadium. In this way, by playing at home and having quality players, it seems to us a good option to bet on the victory of Turkey.

Preview
Turkey and Republic of Ireland face at Antalya 100.yıl Stadyumu, in what is to be the first friendly match of the year for both teams. The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 25‑05‑2014, and ended in a (1‑2) win by Turkey.

Analysis Turkey

This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 4 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Turkey (2‑3) Albania, Romania (2‑0) Turkey, FYR Macedonia (0‑0) Turkey and Turkey (3‑1) Moldova. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got a home loss against Albania by (2‑3). In the last 10 home matches Turkey has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Turkey make its first game in 2018, which will be its third consecutive friendly, needing to greatly improve its performance if it wants to achieve a positive result. The Turks come from four games without a win, three of which have lost three and come from two straight defeats against Romania and Albania. Before that, the Turkish national team had been in the qualifying round for the World Cup but failed to qualify as it was only in fourth place in Group I with one of the three worst defenses. Coach Lucescu has used the tactical system 4-2-3-1, and should keep Tosun as the main reference in the attack, also having a new midfield player Emre Mor, who plays for Celta de Vigo.

Confirmed Lineup: Volkan Babacan, Çağlar Söyüncü, Hasan Ali Kaldırım, Gökhan Gönül, Serdar Aziz, Mehmet Topal, Okay Yokuşlu, Yusuf Yazıcı, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Emre Akbaba, Cenk Tosun.
Coach: S. Kuntz.

Analysis Ireland

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Republic of Ireland (3‑1) Uruguay, Mexico (3‑1) Republic of Ireland and Republic of Ireland (0‑1) Iceland. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got a home loss against Denmark by (1‑5). In the last 10 away matches Republic of Ireland has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there are 3 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 4 of their 11 goals between (0'‑15'); they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Ireland also enters the field for its first game of the year, which will be the first game after the end of the World Cup qualifying round. In this qualification for the World Cup, the team made a good campaign, finishing in the second position of Group D, which gave it the chance to play the qualifying playoff against Denmark. However, after a goalless draw in Denmark, the Irish were defeated at home was thus eliminated of the 2018 World Cup. The last victory of the Irish National Team was in October of 2017, when it defeated Wales away from home by the minimal score, which shows that its offensive sector has not been very effective. O'Neill's most used tactics have been 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1, who is expected to keep McClean as the main reference in the attack.

Confirmed Lineup: Colin Doyle, Kevin Long, Séamus Coleman, Shane Duffy, Declan Rice, Alan Browne, Jeff Hendrick, Conor Hourihane, James McClean, Scott Hogan, Sean Maguire.
Coach: S. Kenny.
