Turkey vs Gibraltar Predictions

• Turkey kept just one clean sheet across their last eight games.
• All three of Gibraltar’s goals in this qualifying campaign came on foreign soil.
• Gibraltar are yet to pick up a single point in World Cup qualifying history.

Turkey to rock the Gibraltarians

While it would be easy to predict a strong win without reply for top-two chasing Turkey here, they aren’t exactly the safest bet of late. Notably, many people had the Turks down as their ‘dark horse’ selection to claim EURO 2020 glory… shortly before they flopped out of the group having conceded eight goals and losing all three games.

Facing Gibraltar isn’t quite as tough of a challenge, though Turkey did have to come from behind to beat another minnow nation ranked outside of FIFA’s top-#100, Latvia, during the last international break.

Even though Gibraltar are yet to register a point in World Cup qualifying, they have only been kept from scoring by the group-leading Netherlands so far on their travels. As such, they lost three of their four away games during this cycle while also getting on the scoresheet, a return which gives us statistical backing on the main prediction of a Turkey win with both teams scoring. One thing is certain, Gibraltar will give it their all in every game, expect a spirited, albeit unsuccessful showing from the minnows here.
