Germany will face off against Turkey in a friendly match at the Rhein Energie Stadion in Cologne. Die Mannschaft are favorites, though the last international break wasn’t particularly successful for them. As You probably know, Joachim Loew’s men failed to register a victory in two matches from the UEFA Nations League. Germany first played an 1:1 draw with Switzerland. The Germans had a good first half and took the lead after an excellent first-time strike from Ilkay Gundogan, but failed to kept the advantage. Nevertheless, they struggled in the final 30 minutes of the match and looked out of breath in the finish. I believe Loew was very disappointed with the players performance on that match. Three days later Germany faced Spain in Stuttgart. The result was the same, another 1: 1 draw. Once again they took an advantage after Timo Werner found the back of the net with a powerful low drive in 51st minute. And once again they dropped two points after let the opponents to equalize. To be worse, Jose Gaya scored in the 95th minute of the match. It is important to mention that Bayern Munich contingent of players weren't involved in those matches as they were scheduled soon after the Champions League final. Now they are back and that's a huge boost for Loew, although most of them will be saved for the upcoming fixture against Ukraine. Leroy Sane and Thilo Kehrer are out injured, while Ilkay Gundogan is in self-isolation following the positive Covid-19 test.
Turkey also started the qualifications without a victory. First they suffered a shocking 1:0 defeat to Hungary. What is worse, the defeat came at home. I am well aware of the fact there were no spectators at the stadium in Sivas, but the defeat was a big surprise. The guests created a series of goalscoring opportunities in the first half but failed to capitalize. However, Dominik Szoboszlai's powerful long-distance free kick was enough for Hungary to secure a narrow 1:0 win in their opening Nations League fixture. The second round's match with Serbia ended with a goalless draw. This could be evaluate as a positive result considering the fact they were guests, but the reality is different. Turkey had an one-man advantage for almost whole second half after Kolarov was sent-off in the 48th minute, but failed to win. Coach Senol Gunes has to improve the attacking form as his strikers failed to score a single goal for 180 minutes. Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu could have an important role in the process. He is in excellent form in AC Milan and has provided four goals and an assist in the last games for his team.
Germany vs Turkey Prediction:
This will be the 21st meeting between these two national teams. Germany are more successful with 14 victories, with Turkey winning just 3., while the remaining three games ended with draw. However, I expect a low scoring match now. Germany are favorites, but the players confidence isn't high because they didn't win any of the last two competitive matches.. Turkey, meanwhile, failed to score a single goal in the last two matches. The almost-empty stadium will hardy motivate the players, so I don't think there will be lot of goals. In case of exactly three goals, Your stake will be returned.
