Turkey Vs France Preview
Although Turkey beat USA in the final World Cup group game, the Crescent-Stars entertained a torrid time in North America and will be aiming to get things right in the Nations League. Head coach Vincenzo Montella knows how tough Friday’s test will be and he’ll be expecting a reaction from his players.
As for France, Zinedine Zidane has taken over from Didier Deschamps in the dugout. The latter earned World Cup glory in 2018 and Zizou has been tasked with delivering similar outcomes on the global stage. But before he can dream of lifting the most famous trophy in international football, a Nation League success would set up the French legend very nicely.
Turkey Vs France H2H Record
Turkey have faced France on just six occasions – boasting one win and losing four. The Crescent-Stars are actually unbeaten in the last two H2H clashes. Which is something to bear in mind when it comes to Turkey vs France betting on Friday night.
Turkey vs France H2H record:
- France 1-1 Turkey – European Championship qualifier – 2019
- Turkey 2-0 France – European Championship qualifier – 2019
- France 1-0 Turkey – international friendly – 2009
- France 3-2 Turkey – Confederations Cup – 2003
- Turkey 0-4 France – international friendly
- France 4-0 Turkey – international friendly
Turkey Vs France Team News
Hakan Calhanoglu and Kenan Yıldız are both absent for Turkey but Real Madrid star Arda Guler – who became the Crescent-Stars youngest World Cup scorer this summer – is in line to start from the off.
As for France, Zinedine Zidane has wasted no time in stamping his authority on the World Cup semi-finalists. He has picked all of his big guns but various reports suggest he has adopted a very hands-on approach in training and he is likely to start Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Jeremy Jacquet. Arsenal’s William Saliba is ruled out injured.
