Turkey hosts Iceland in round 9 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, November 14th at Ali Sami Yen (Istanbul)
It is enough for the Turks to draw in the upcoming match to become inaccessible for the same Icelanders, whom they outrank by four points. If Turkey manages to do it, the last round of the qualification will turn for Senol Gunesh and his team into a simple formality.

Everybody understands that only a victory gives Iceland a long chance of progressing from the group. Although Turkey won’t lose 2 matches in a row because it will have to play against Andorra in the last round, and the outcome of that match is very predictable. The Icelanders have nothing to lose. Even a draw means the end of the struggle for progressing from the group (Turkey will surely not lose in Andorra). Therefore, Iceland needs to attack and score to win. And the visitors will try to do it throughout the match.
Turkey conceded just three goals in this qualification. But two of them were conceded just in Iceland. And Iceland is more than uncomfortable opponent for the Turks. Opponents met 11 times in different tournaments, and Iceland gained seven victories in those meetings, losing only two matches. And it scored Turkey in eight cases. It scored in 6 out of 8 matches of this qualification. And the Icelanders will surely score this time. The team has someone to do this. For example, the forward of Augsburg, Finnbogason, scored 16 goals for the national team. And he scored Schalke and Bayern in this championship of Germany. Don’t forget Sigtorsson, who scored 26 goals in 54 matches in the national team. He played for Ajax and Nantes, and now he performs in AIK. Midfielder Bjarnason scored 12 goals in the national team. And there is Sigurdsson, Everton's midfielder. He scored 21 times under the banners of the Icelandic national team. Therefore, the cornered Icelanders will at least try to take away 3 points from Turkey, and they will be able to score a goal.
Prediction for the match: Iceland to score over 0.5 goals
