JAKARTA - Turkey is getting closer to Germany. The certainty of qualifying for the final round will be determined in the Euro 2024 qualifying Group D match against Latvia at the Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium, Monday, October 16 in the morning WIB.

Turkey only needs one point when hosting the team that currently occupies the basis of the standings. Acting as the host with more complete player material and depth makes Turkey more superior and likely to meet the target of qualifying.

Lebih dari itu, kemenangan 1-0 terhadap Croatia telah mendongkrak moral dan semangat The Crescent-Star.Pasalnya, mereka tidak hanya membalas kekalahan 2-0 pada pertemuan pertama, tetapi Turki menjadi tim pertama yang memecahkan rekor unbeaten Croatia di laga home selama qualisi.

The team also managed to win the top position by shifting Croatia. Currently, Turkey has 13 points and is three points ahead of Croatia who are in second place. But Croatia kept one game remaining.

The victory over Croatia was also the sweet debut of coach Vincenzo Montella who replaced Stefan Kuntz.

Previously, Montella was doubtful because she accepted the responsibility of dealing with Turkey with the quality of the squad that was only on average or on a medioker basis.

However, the former coach of Adana Demirspor managed to build a team that has strong discipline and is able to play effectively. This can be seen when they address Croatia which has a neat gaming organization under the setting of veteran Luka Modric.

In the match against Latvia, Montella doesn't seem to make much changes to the winning team. However, this former Italian national team player made changes in the back sector following Merih Demiral's return.

Demiral after being absent due to a ban on playing. The defender, who has played at Juventus and is now defending at Al-Ahli, is again the first choice at the heart of the team's defense.

Captain Hakan Calhanoglu will bring the midfield to life with Orkun Kokcu and Irfan Kahveci. Meanwhile, Baris Alper Yilmaz, who scored his only goal in the match against Croatia, became the sole spearhead.

Latvia itself was again strengthened by captain Kristers Tobels who missed the last match due to suspension.

However, Dainis Kazaviks coach lost Marcis Oss who got a red card against Armenia. His position was replaced by Kaspars Dubra or Antonijs Cernomijs who had recovered from injury.

Striker Roberts Uldrikis is the first choice ahead following the absence of the injured Vladislavs Gutkovskis. Uldrikis will work hard against Turkey's strong defense.

Appearing at home makes Turkey the favorite. Moreover, they had a good encounter record against Latvia.

In the last five matches, Turkey has never lost. They won twice, including the first duel at home to Latvia which Turkey won 3-2, and drew three times.

Only Turkey remains vigilant. Because Latvia will play without a burden because it has no chance of qualifying for Germany.

Forecast Of Turkey's Lineup (4-1-4-1): Cakir; Kadioglu, Akaydin, Demiral, Ozkacar; Yuksek; Kahveci, Kokcu, Calhanoglu, Akturkoglu; Yilmaz
