Turkey vs Estonia

Tonight, we will see Turkey against Estonia in the Sükrü Saracoglu stadium in Istanbul.

 

Turkey would really like to add those 3 points into the table today, since they lost their opener against Netherlands.They had a lots of chances in front of the goal and they played very well, so I think Turkey did not deserve to lose this match.

 

There will probably be some changes today in their starting XI, because there were some criticism after the loss to Netherlands.

 

Estonia were hosting Romania in Friday and they also lost 0-2. They were quite disappointing against Romanians, so Tarmo Rüütli (coach of Estonia) has decided to make some changes as well in the starting lineup. Today their starting lineup will be like this - goalkeeper Sergei Pareiko, defenders Enar Jääger, Taavi Rähn, Ragnar Klavan, Taijo Teniste, midfielders Sander Puri, Aleksandr Dmitrijev, Konstantin Vassiljev, Joel Lindpere and attackers Tarmo Kink, Andres Oper.

 

I'm afraid that unfortunately Turks will win this match easily. Year ago, in a friendly, they won 3-0, in 2009, they won 4-2. It will be very hard for Estonians to grab a point from Istanbul. Turkey is under pressure after they lose their first match so they will come out and dominate from the very beginning.

 

I'll go for over 2.5 goals. I think Turkey will score at least 3 against Estonias shaky defense. As an Estonian, I really hope it will not happen, but if Turks get an early goal, this could get ugly...
