Turkey have lost a lot of ground in their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign after a fine start that saw them win the opening two games. In the five games that have followed in Group G, they’ve managed to add just one win, and have dropped to third in the group, four points behind the Netherlands. Turkey will be traveling to Latvia for their eighth game, their hosts placed fifth with five points and without a chance of qualifying. Latvia are coming from yet another loss, a 1-0 home defeat to the Netherlands, leaving them with just one win in seven in the group. They haven’t scored in the last three matches and have just one clean sheet in five matches. Their only wins in the last 16 World Cup qualification matches were against lowly Andorra and Gibraltar, and they have just three clean sheets in the 16 matches. At home, they’ve lost seven of the last 10 World Cup qualification matches. In this game, they will be looking to shock Turkey after coming from 2-0 down to draw 3-3 with Turkey in their first meeting in this group.

Turkey have really dropped in recent times; just the other day, they were thrashed 6-1 by Netherlands in this group, and coming to this game, they could only draw 1-1 with Norway. They’ve managed just one win in their last seven matches, and lost four in the process. Caglar Soyuncu will be available for this game after suspension for the Norway game and Tukey can bank on a stronger back line. In the last eight matches in World Cup qualifiers, they have lost just once, but they have only three wins. Their only win in these qualifiers after the opening two victories was against Gibraltar, and they will go into this game as favorites but well aware of the 3-3 draw at home with this same opponent. In nine World Cup qualification matches, Turkey have managed just two clean sheets. They have failed to score in one of their last 10 World Cup qualification matches and in six of the last eight, they’ve scored two or more goals.
