UEFA Nations League Turkey vs Russia Prediction

On the occasion of the first day of the League of Nations, Turkey receives Russia on its turf from Medical Park Stadyumu Trabzon. Positioned in Group 2 of Division B (second best), the two nations will have the opportunity to write a new story before a possible participation in the European Championship 2020. Not participating in the last World Cup, the Turks of Mircea Lucescu ( ex-Shakthar) will aim for a good first meeting, in a group they also share with Sweden. Unbeaten for five games, Cenk Tosun and company seem in shape before facing the quarter-finalist of the last World Cup, aware that it will perform well to figure. In front, Russia is certainly on a successful World Cup, but will have to do without his legendary goalkeeper Akinfeev, without his striker Smolov or his best player Golovin, injured when he arrived in Monaco. Conditions that could well offer us a balanced meeting this Friday …
