Turkey vs Czech Republic

Home - Turkey
Last away matches - L-W-L-W-W-W

Turkey had a man sent off early in the 2nd half, but by that point they were already 1-0 down, having conceded the first goal inside 20 minutes. After Toprak was dismissed for a 2nd booking in the 53rd, The Turks then conceded twice in as many minutes with 20 minutes to go and that was how it ended. As if that loss, without even scoring wasn't worrying enough, they now have to face a side that has proven capable of bigger scalps that theirs.

Away - Czech Republic
Last away matches - D-W-W-L-D-W

The Czech Republic are rather generously priced as the underdogs for this 2nd qualifying game in Group A. one they will surely fancy given what they achieved last month. The Czechs hosted the Netherlands in their opener, and stunned their visitors with a fantastic 2-1 result. Turkey didn't fare so well, losing 3-0 in Iceland.The Czech Republic did very well to beat Netherlands but really was it that unexpected they would prove competitive? A look back to the qualifying stages of the 2014 World Cup will show that Czech's proving quite the handful, even away from home. Indeed, they were beaten away from home just once, by a narrow 2-1 margin in Italy. They won 3 of the other away games and drew one. Formidable visitors to any nation.
