Preview
Latvia head into this after a 1-0 loss to Netherlands in their previous match on Friday.
Klaassen scored the only goal of the match as Latvia saw their slim hopes of qualification massively hit.
They are struggling in the 5th spot with 5 points from 7 matches and are winless since last month.
On the other hand, Turkey played out a 1-1 draw against Norway in their previous clash and continued to keep the pressure.
Akturkoglu and Thorstvedt scored for either side in that clash as both teams shared the spoils.
Turkey is 3rd in the table with 12 points, two points behind Norway. Hence, the qualification is still within grasp.
There is plenty to play for in this clash for the visitors and we are poised for an excellent finish.
Both sides last met in March for the qualification where it ended 3-3.

Prediction: Latvia 1-2 Turkey
Turkey is still within the hunt for qualification and need to gain the result here to keep the hopes alive.
A closely fought contest is expected but with Latvia’s poor form and inconsistent play, we do not see them getting through.
The Turks should edge this clash due to the form of their strikers.
