World Cup 2010 – South Africa – Group Qualifiying Stage
Turkey – Spain

Although they have many important missings, Turkey could win in Spain. But the gaming style in the second half is also disappointing for coach Fatih Terim. They will be more agressive comparing to the saturday night. This is a must win game for the home side; because they are competing with Belgium and Bosnia for the second place and they will travel to them in the upcoming matches. The coach is expected to play with the same first eleven. The only difference may be Ayhan Akman who is a real warrior in the midfield. We also know that Turkey has falled behind against Belgium and Bosnia at home. If Turkey play more agressive and close to the offence line, the heavy defence line may have trouble against fast Torres and David Villa. Having moved down to the third place, Turkey targets to get the most sensational victory of the night.
Spain travel to Istanbul with a relaxed mind. But coach Vicente Del Bosque has declared that they will not play like a comfortable team. The three points are their only goal. In the first match, they had a problem about controlling the game in the first half. But they were the only owner of the second half. That is why their pressure has brought them the winning goal. It is obvious that Fernando Torres and David Villa will be more effective against attacking Turkey. I believe that they are going to score the first goal of the match.
My tip: Spain to score first
