This is the start of England’s countdown to the European Championships. They open their warm ups with a home game against Turkey and this should be a really good contest for Roy Hodgson’s men. Turkey will be heading to Euro 2016 as well as the Three Lions and can be difficult opponents. The Turks have won five of their last six international friendly, including wins over Sweden and Austria. So England will have to put some good work into this to come away with a confidence-building win but they haven’t conceded a goal in any of their ten previous competitive matches against the Turks.

England v Turkey Betting Tips
As frustrating and pointless as friendly matches can be, England will want to go out and put on a decent show here. It’s going to be quite important to keep energy and confidence high ahead of Euro 2016 and they can to take by taking a win against Turkey, who are in some good form. England have great history against Turkey in international meetings, all competitive, as the Three Lions have posted a W10 D0 L0 record in their previous meetings with the Turks. So that suggests that this is a decent opportunity to put a win on the board for the home side at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium. The last time that England and Turkey came together they played out a 0-0 draw in Euro 2004 qualification. It will be interesting to see what Roy Hodgson goes with for the starting eleven and which squad members will end up finishing the match. It is a little hard to get a read on international friendly matches because of the lack of competitiveness and they usually die off in the final third of the game.
England will probably go with a strong starting line up and Harry Kane is trading at 8/11 in the anytime goalscorer market for England v Turkey betting. Jamie Vardy, who can stake a great claim for a place is trading at 6/4 to net. Big opportunity for both of these coming up over the summer. England’s record over their last eight matches played is W6 D0 L2 and the losses in that sequence happened against Spain and the Netherlands. However, during their recently friendly excursions, England have also beaten France and Germany. England’s qualification for Euro 2016 was perfect, winning all ten games and conceding very few goals and the Three Lions have taken five clean sheets in their last eight international matches. England are a price of 8/11 to take a clean sheet away from the game against Turkey while they are at a quote of 21/20 to win to nil in the match. Given the fact that England’s record against Turkey is so good, seeing them win to nil on the weekend is a decent looking option. An England 1-0 and an England 2-0 correct score is running at a price of 9/2.
However, Turkey are a side in pretty good form at the moment. They came good at the end of Euro 2016 qualifying to make it through to the summer Finals and they have beaten both Sweden and the highly rated Austria recently in international friendlies. Turkey have posted a very solid W6 D2 L0 record over their last eight international matches. They aren’t a particularly high scoring outfit though, but they have managed to hit the back of the net in all but one of their last dozen international matches. Also they scored two goals in each of those victories over Sweden and Austria recently, both 2-1 victories. So perhaps, given that this is just a friendly, you could take a both teams to score bet for a price of 5/4. Will this be the day they get a goal on the board against the Three Lions. Turkey have scored none and have conceded 31 goals in their previous ten against England.

England v Turkey Predictions
This is a game that England should be winning, especially if they want to head to the summer finals with confidence. However, Turkey are in decent form and are worth backing to put a goal on the board because England’s defence hasn’t looked top quality against better opposition. The Three Lions should still win out but look for both teams to score in the match.
