League football may be all but over however, there are still plenty of international games heading our way one of those includes an interesting encounter between Turkey and Greece.
Two teams who are ranked similarly in the FIFA rankings will go head to head in Antalya this Thursday night.
Turkey are currently ranked in 39thspot and come into this encounter on the back of two straight wins.
Greece, on the other hand, currently sit 43rdin the rankings and are entering this friendly with some mixed results under their belt.
Let’s begin with the hosts. A recent 4-0 win over Moldova and a 2-0 away victory over Albania in the Euro qualifiers has seen Senol Gunes’ side go level on points with Group H leaders, and World Cup holders, France.
Greece, meanwhile, kicked off their qualifying campaign with a shy 2-0 win over Liechtenstein and an entertaining 2-2 draw with Bosnia.
The two results see Angelos Anastasiadis’ men sit in 2ndspot in Group J – just two points shy of Italy.
One thing we can see from these results is that both of these teams have found their scoring boots. With that in mind, we certainly don’t expect a repeat of their last encounter which ended in a bore 0-0 draw.
For that reason, the betting recommendation is to back a home win but both teams to score at the current price of 15/4.

Turkey to win and both teams to score – 15/4 bet365*
