Preview
Turkey head into this after a 6-1 mauling from the Netherlands side last month, which was their first loss of the qualification campaign.
Depay scored a hat-trick along with strikes from Klaassen, Til and Malen inflicting a damaging defeat on the Turks.
Under found the back of the net in extra time and it meant nothing more than a consolation strike.
Yet, Turkey is well placed with 11 points from 6 matches in 3rd place.
On the other hand, Norway has won their last two matches against Latvia and Gibraltar; which ensures they come into this with confidence.
They beat Gibraltar 5-1 in their previous match where Håland led the way with a hat-trick followed by goals from Thorstvedt and Sørloth as well.
Norway will look to continue the good form and seal qualification.
Both sides last met in the return leg of the Qualifiers where Turkey won 3-0.

Turkey’s new manager will have a test on his hands against a resurgent Norway side. We are expecting a Norway win in Istanbul.
