"Getting their respective World Cup qualifying campaign underway with an action-packed 3-2 victory on foreign soil, the Crescent Stars have largely impressed over recent times. Booking their spot among the Nations League's elite back in March as they secured a thumping 6-1 aggregate win against Hungary, Turkey have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Booking a EURO 24 quarter-final ticket last summer, Sunday's hosts now have their sights firmly set on wrapping up a silver medal finish in Group E."
"Coming off the bench and shown a straight red cards after only being on the pitch for just six minutes, Galatasaray star Baris Alper Yilmaz will miss out through suspension here. Appearing to have cemented his spot as Montella's number one choice, Ugurcan Cakir will start between the sticks. Bagging a brace on foreign soil in midweek and opening his World Cup qualifying account with an early flurry, new Fenerbahce star Kerem Akturkoglu will lead the line on Sunday evening."
Spain travel to Konya to face Turkey, with bookmakers making Spain the favorites at best odds 2/3 from Luckster as they seek consecutive World Cup qualifying wins. Turkey began qualifying with an action-packed 3-2 victory away to Georgia and have won four of their last five matches, having secured promotion in the Nations League and reached EURO 24 quarter-finals. Baris Alper Yilmaz is suspended after a straight red card, Ugurcan Cakir is set to start, and Kerem Akturkoglu will lead Turkey's attack alongside Arda Guler. Spain lost the Nations League final to Portugal but opened qualifying with a routine 3-0 win and show attacking strength.
