Turkey vs. Finland preview

These two countries will face-off on Friday, with both gunning for all three points. A place in the upcoming World Cup tournament, the 2018 edition in Russia, is the goal, but both are faltering in the race.

Croatia are the leaders in Group I with 10 points. Turkey trail the leaders by five points; the Eagle-owls are behind by a whopping 9 points.

Ay-Yıldızlılar will have Arda Turan, the Barca man, for this game, but they sadly will be without Hakan Calhanoglu. The Bayer Leverkusen ace is suspended from football until the end of the season.

Finland, on the other hand, need to find a solution to their shyness in front of goal. Their goal difference is -3, the second worst tally in the group.
