Turkey faces Moldova in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Thursday, June 3rd at Benteler Arena (Paderborn)
If we compare the preparation of the teams for the upcoming Euro 2021, Turkey will be one of the leaders in the number of friendly matches, as the game against the Moldovans will be the third in a week. Before that, the Turks played against Azerbaijan (2-1) and Guinea (0-0). As you can see, the opponents are not the strongest, but this is an opportunity to test the players and establish their game connections. Let’s recall that Turkey started its qualification for the 2022 World Cup well. The Crescent Stars managed to score seven points in three games and headed the group. When Turkey is in good shape, then it is not afraid of any opponent. It is in this state that the national team wants to approach Euro 2021, where it will hold the opening match of the tournament against Italy on June 11.

The national team of Moldova has never shown outstanding results and powerful play. The team always takes last places in their qualification groups. In the last draw of the Nations League, the Moldovans played in Division C, gained only one point in their group, and finished in the last place. Therefore, they will play in the weakest division next season. The start of the qualification for the 2022 World Cup was also poor. The Moldovans tied against the Faroe Islands at home and then suffered two devastating defeats from the Danes (8-0) and Israel (1-4). Previously, Moldova created more problems for the opponents, but now this team is practically on par with the weakest football dwarfs.
These teams often cross paths in qualifiers for big tournaments. In total, they held ten head-to-head matches. The Turks won eight times, and two games ended in a draw. The teams met the last time in 2019, in the qualification for Euro 2020. Then Turkey won both games with the same 4-0 score. As for the upcoming match, the result is not so important, so the Turks still have the right to make mistakes. As for the Moldovans, this is a good opportunity for them to play against a strong opponent. But the victory will give Turkey confidence before an important tournament, so we bet on the success of the favorites with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Turkey to win with -1.5 handicap
