Poland vs Turkey prediction: WORLD: Friendly International betting tips on match 2024-06-09 18:45.
[p]Poland, preparing for their fifth consecutive European Championship finals, beat Ukraine 3-1 in Warsaw on Friday night to make it seven games unbeaten (W4, D3) since MichaĆ Probierz took charge last September following the dismissal of Fernando Santos. That recent impressive record includes the goalless draw against Wales in Cardiff which preceded the Eaglesâ penalty shootout victory over the Welsh to fire them to Germany.[/p]
[p]Scoring 3+ goals for the first time during Probierzâs tenure, Friday eveningâs victory also extended an unbeaten run on home soil to nine games (W7, D2) for Poland, with all three of their defeats in qualifying for this summerâs finals coming on the road. The nation ranked #28 by FIFA are now also nine unbeaten in friendly outings (W6, D3), having not been defeated in one since way back in November 2018.[/p]
[p]Turkey‘s (#40) most recent run out came last Tuesday night in Bologna, where a goalless draw with Italy brought a two-match losing streak to an end, but extended a winless run to four (D2, L2). Scoring just twice across those outings, itâs now just one win in five friendlies for âAy-Yıldızlılarâ (D1, L3), who are set for a third consecutive European finals appearance and sixth overall.[/p]
[p]Although victories have been a rarity of late, when Vincenzo Montellaâs side do win, it tends to come as a result of a goal flurry, with three of their last five victories seeing them net 3+ times. The chances of that happening here would appear slim given a record of just three victories in 17 previous H2Hs, with only one of those three successes against Poland coming in a friendly.[/p]
[p]Key battle: Piotr ZieliĆski has netted in each of Polandâs last two home games, with the Eagles converting 100% of the shots they took on Friday night against Ukraine. All three of Turkeyâs most recent goals have come from the penalty spot, with Hakan ĂalhanoÄlu missing just one of the seven heâs taken on the international stage to date.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Five of the last seven H2Hs between these two nations have produced a win âto nilâ, four of those in Polandâs favour, and one in Turkeyâs.[/p]
