Turkey hosts Russia in round 5 of the UEFA Nations League B. The match will be played on Sunday, November 15th at Samsun 19 Ülker Stadyumu (Istanbul)
The arrival of Senol Gunes on the coaching bridge of the Turkish national team was supposed to shake up the team and improve its tournament performance. However, since March 2019, the experienced specialist has not particularly changed the dynamics of Turkey's development. Football players still sag in terms of tactical training and make too many mistakes in defense. As a result, the Turks earned only three points in the UEFA Nations League. Turkey has growth prospects due to a large number of young footballers. Experienced players like Calhanoglu, Burak Yilmaz, and Cenk Tosun play next to them. But the main burden falls precisely on promising performers, such as Yusuf Yazici, Cengiz Under, Orhun Kokcu, Demiral, Ceglar, Ozan Kabak, and Ugurcan Cakir.

Everyone expects an increase in class from Stanislav Cherchesov's men. In this group, the Russian national team looks like a clear favorite, given the personnel component. Now the Russian team is leading the quartet, having 8 points (two wins and two draws). Beyond that, the Tricolors unsuccessfully played a friendly game with Sweden (a 1:2 defeat), which gave rise to talk about the decline. The squad constitutes a good fusion of experience and youth. Zhirkov, Dzyuba, Ionov, Kudryashov - these guys have been personifying Russian football for many years. It is time to take the result into their hands for the young generation of football players, where there are such talents as the brothers Miranchuk, Safonov, Bakaev, Oblyakov, and Sobolev.
An interesting match awaits us, and the home team will only play to win. Senol Gunes's men have nowhere to retreat. Their home stadium and the lack of tournament pressure speak in their favor. Russia shows a better game, but it is also far from ideal, especially in the last games. We will probably see wide-open football with the exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
