Bosnia-Herzegovina is playing against Estonia - and I do not believe, that they will have any problems to win this game. So both teams, Turkey and Belgium has to win surely. We can except a very exciting game with a lot of goals.
The game against Belgium will be the 467th game of the Turkish National football team. Until now, they have won 164 games, had 112 draws and have lost 190 times. The Turkish National team have scored in the 466 games 602 goals and received 710 goals.
With Belgium the Turkish National team will have the 9th game. At the moment, the statistic is very balanced - both teams have won 2 times and 4 games ended in a draw. The Turkish National team have lost the last time against Belgium on 30.04.1997 .

The Turkish coach, Fatih Terim, has to watch the game from the tribune, because he has been sent of the field by the referee in the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 09.09.2009.
If we compare both teams, the squad of the Turkish team is better and they play more aggressive as the Belgian players. So I think, that it will be a hard work, but the Turkish National Team will win.
