Turkey have won four of their last five games against Bulgaria
Bulgaria have conceded three or more goals in each of their four World Cup qualifiers
Bulgaria have lost seven of their last eight internationals
Turkey marching towards the playoffs
A 6-0 defeat to Spain will have left Turkish fans fearing the worst about their chances of reaching next summer’s World Cup finals, but their team has bounced back well and should take their chance to book a playoff spot on Saturday.
A 4-1 win over Georgia in their last match has put Turkey in a great position to finish second behind the European champions in the four-team section and they could not have hoped for a better fixture in which to book that spot before a midweek trip to Seville.
Bulgaria defence has been outclassed
For Bulgaria, it has just been a case of damage limitation after they were thumped 6-1 at home by Turkey just a month ago and the concession of 16 goals in their four qualification matches tells its own story.
There seems little chance of them putting in a strong defensive performance, so we expect Turkey to claim a victory in a match that contains at least four goals, with correct-score punting enthusiasts pointed towards four ending up in the Bulgaria net without the visitors able to muster a reply.
