Turkey - Croatia Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
  
One of the most famous friendlies will take place on Wednesday evening in Vodafone Park in Istanbul. Turkey welcomes Croatia. According to the odds, a duel at eye level awaits us, which is mainly due to the fact that both coaches will in all probability not be able to deploy their first guard. The background is the upcoming competitive games in the Nations League, which have a much more significant character.

Nevertheless, the international game naturally serves as a welcome test and opportunity for players from the second row who want to recommend themselves for higher tasks. As a result, there could be a lively match in which one or the other goal is likely to fall.

As a result, it is not one hundred percent understandable for us that a tip that both teams will score at least once is offered with relatively high odds before the game Turkey against Croatia. 
 
 


 
 
  
For the Turkish selection, the international phase ended in October with three decent results. In the Nations League, the “moon stars” fought for two draws against Russia and Serbia, and the Turks also impressed with a courageous performance in the friendly against the DFB-Elf. It was 3: 3 after 90 spectacular minutes, in which the protégés of coach Senol Günes proved once again that they have developed particularly well in the offensive.

After the first two international matches of the calendar year 2020 in September had not yet succeeded in their own goals and the Turks lost 1-0 at home to Hungary, among other things, the form curve clearly showed up in October, although the 33rd in the world rankings are definitely working on it not have to wake up after changing sides. In all three matches mentioned, the third placed at the 2002 World Cup was 0: 1 behind at halftime.
 
Should a forecast between Turkey and Croatia pay off again on Wednesday that the home side will be behind after the first round, the tested bookmaker Bwin would pay out 3.2 times the stake. Instead, we consider goalscoring on both sides to be a bit more realistic, especially since the Turks have only failed to score in two of their twelve international matches since the beginning of 2019, but most recently revealed serious defensive defects in October.

With regard to the important Nations League matches on Sunday against Russia and the following Wednesday in Hungary, where the red and whites are about to stay in the league, coach Günes is expected to spare some top performers. The defensive talents Kabak and Söyüncü are also missing in the predicted starting XI like Celik, Calhanoglu or Karaman.
 

 
 
 
 

 
The Croatian national team stands for spectacle. This thesis can be verified relatively easily in numbers. In the five international matches in 2020 with the participation of the vice world champions alone, a whopping 20 goals were scored, an average of four per game. With the exception of the matches in Portugal (1: 4) and at home against world champions France (1: 2), coach Zlatko Dalic's team scored at least twice. The last time without a goal of their own was the "Vatreni" in October 2018.

Because the defensive was anything but stable recently, the odds on the "Both teams to score" promise the most attractive value between Turkey and Croatia before the friendly game, in which traditionally a courageous, offensive approach is pursued. A detailed explanation of value bets can be found in our betting base guide area.

Finally, to statistically substantiate the defensive imbalances mentioned, a look at the results in the Nations League is sufficient. Conceding eleven goals in just four games equates to almost three goals conceded per encounter. In the past eight games, the respective keeper had to reach behind him at least once. As a result, the bet on “both meet” would always have paid off in those eight matches.
 
Similar to Senol Günes, Zlatko Dalic will not have all the key players due to the important and above all difficult Nations League matches in Sweden and at home against Portugal. For example, Ivan Perisic or Luka Modric, who were last on the pitch every three days in their clubs, should get a break. Andrej Kramaric from TSG Hoffenheim will also be absent, as he is behind in training after his infection and is struggling with adductor problems.
