The UEFA Nations League returns this week, and on Friday, the French will look to be as effective as they were when the competition last took place. They will also be keen to make a positive start to the Zinedine Zidane era. The man who captained the French to World Cup glory in 1998 begins his managerial stint with an away game in Turkey. The Turks will be hoping to leave their disappointing 2026 World Cup effort behind by picking up a positive result on home soil, where they've won each of their last four.
As the French look to start life under their new head coach on the front foot, they should turn to Michael Olise to deliver the goods. Bettors should also turn to the dynamic forward, who looks generously priced to find the net, not least of all because he comes into this international break having been in hot scoring form for Bayern recently.

Our Turkiye vs France Prediction
Michael Olise has clearly been in the mood of late, scoring three goals in his last league game before linking up with Les Bleus for this UEFA Nations League break. Not only did he bang in three most recently, but he's now scored eight in six starts for Bayern this season, which tells us that he's more than ready to do damage against a Turkey team that struggled defensively at the World Cup just a few months ago.
Olise has looked very hungry for goals in recent weeks, getting himself into many, many dangerous shooting positions, so let's not be surprised if he finds the net on Friday. Most importantly, given his recent form, he could (and probably should) be priced shorter than +290 to score.
SportyTrader's Turkey vs France Pick: Michael Olise to Score.
