The European champions will face a formidable challenge against Turkey at the start of the World Cup qualifiers.

On the other hand, Turkey respects no one at home, and they’ve shown in the past that any rival can be beaten in front of their own crowd.

Turkey vs. Spain Preview

Turkey

The Turks went to North America in June to play some friendly games. After beating the US national team 2-1, we saw them lose against Mexico with a minimal score, 1-0.

Prior to that one, Turkey met Hungary in the UEFA Nations League A playoffs. They were more than confident against Szoboszlai and the boys, winning both games 3-0 at home and 3-1 on the road, securing the spot in the top tier of European football.

Up until the game against Mexico, Turkey had 4 consecutive events that ended with three or more goals. Additionally, they’ve conceded in 6 of their recent 9 matches, indicating that their defense isn’t as consistent as it should be.

Spain

Spain plays unbelievable matches when it comes to efficiency. The previous five were all with both teams netting and over 3.5 goals. But that’s the catch when you have Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Inaki and the rest of the boys.

After 19 matches in a row without a loss, the Red Fury suffered a defeat in its most recent event. It was against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League finals, which featured penalty shootouts, where Ronaldo’s team showed more composure.

Spain scored two or more goals in 10 of the past 12 games. This is all you need to know about the unit’s efficiency. In general, Spain tends to pressurize and attack its opponents, regardless of the current result. Simply, the team’s mentality is offensive-minded, and that’s it.

Turkey vs. Spain Predictions

Turkey won’t defend, that’s for sure. When they play at home, this team isn’t keen on retreating and waiting for the chance to strike on a counterattack. Turkey does quite the opposite, attacks and dictates the tempo. In this situation, the best possible pick would be Spain over 1.5 goals, because of the fantastic talent in their offense. Even though Turks play at home, that won’t slow down Yamal and the guys.

Our verdict: Spain over 1.5 goals
