Turkey take on the visitors Czech Republic in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Saturday, November 19th.
Turkey national team can systematically and gradually prepare for the new cycle. Lately there have been many different emotions. Shenol Gunesh, who once took 3rd place at the world championship, successfully returned to his post. He brought the Turks out of pique and went with them to last year's Euro... So that he would fail there completely and, having lost in the September qualifiers, would cede the position to Stefan Kuntz. The German is still getting good reviews. In the fall of 2021, he managed to take the 2nd place in the qualification, ahead of Norway in this dispute (but lost to Portugal away from home in March in the playoffs), and in the League of Nations it was possible to win the group ahead of schedule. However, it was still not enough to end the dispute with opponents of the scale of Lithuania, Luxembourg and the Faroe Islands. The current line-up of "janissaries" also began in their native stadium, with Scotland. They managed to win that match, but not without problems: the final score was 2-1 in favor of the host side.

Czech Republic perform very differently in continental and world level tournaments. At the Euro, it declared itself immediately after the break with Slovakia, in 1996 it only lost in the final because of Birkhoff's "golden goal". There were also good performances afterwards, however, "silver" failed to repeat. That year, for example, "Lokomotiva" not only left the group, but also beat the Netherlands in the playoffs, losing minimally, 1-2, in the quarterfinals of Denmark. At the same time, it is not possible to make it to the world championships. And this spring, they were relegated on a par with Turkey: in the 1st stage, Sweden, on the road due to Quayson's only goal in extra time. Now Shilgavy is building a team for the new cycle. This week it was possible to defeat the Faroe Islands 5-0. But now there will be an away meeting with a very strong opponent.
The Czech Republic played against the Turks for the first time in 1994. In general, it is worth noting the uncompromising nature of the pair: only 1 draw in 10 matches played. "Lokomotiv" still has an advantage, but it is minimal, 5 wins with 4 losses. Moreover, the Turks won twice already, including the last duel at Euro-2016. Bookmakers remember that this is a meeting of "home" teams. In this case, Turkey is playing at home, so it is worth choosing a bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Turkey to win.
