=12ptTurkey have had a flying start to their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign in Group G and will be looking to make it three wins in three opening matches when they host Latvia. Turkey have six points, at the top of the group while Latvia have no point yet. A fine run in recent matches has Turkey on just one loss in their last nine matches, and in their opening two matches of these qualifiers, they’ve scored seven goals. Going to this game, they beat Norway 3-0. They’ve only failed to score in one of the last five matches and in the other four, they’ve hit three or more goals but will still have defensive questions hanging on the team. While they’ve scored 13 in the last five matches, Turkey have conceded nine goals. The win over Norway provided their first clean sheet in eight matches. Turkey have not lost at home in the last four matches, scoring 12 goals, but have no clean sheet in the last five home matches. They’ve actually conceded 10 goals in the last five home matches. In World Cup qualification, Turkey have four wins in the last five matches at home, keeping three clean sheets in the five but conceding five goals in the last two.

=12ptLatvia put up a spirited show in their last game but fell short after conceding twice to lose 2-0. That was a second straight loss for the visitors and they have just two wins in their last 10 matches, with three clean sheets. They have one win and nine losses in their last 11 World Cup qualification matches and have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 10 qualification matches. Their away run in World Cup qualifiers isn’t any better, as they are without a win in five straight. They have conceded 10 goals in their last five away World Cup qualification matches, in which they’ve lost four. Head to head, they’ve never lost to Turkey; in the five meetings between them, each of the last four have ended in draws while Latvia won the first ever clash.
