Location: Vodafone Park (Istanbul).

Turkey and Croatia, two teams desperate for victory, face each other in a friendly on Wednesday.

Both teams have had a dismal run in the current calendar year, especially Croatia, who are all but confirmed third in their UEFA Nations League group. He has already lost 3 of the 4 games, positive in the victory over Sweden, but he was everywhere in the two defeats against France (1-2 and 2-4) and completely defeated by Portugal (1-4).

Turkey is no better either and moreover considering they are up against inferior teams and judging by their performance in 2018 and 2019 they should be better. This year there were no wins, but 4 out of 5 games ended in a draw.

Bookmakers expect a tight game and that is why Croatia, despite the favourites, is priced at odd 2,20 while the home win can be backed by odd 3,20.
