Date/Time: Friday 07th September 2018 (Kick-off 7:45 PM)
On Friday night, Turkey and Russia kick-off their Nations League campaign in Trabzon. The two teams are in Group 2 of League B in the newly found competition.
Both countries will fancy their chances of topping Group 2, but this game could be pivotal in the make-up of the group.
Turkey heads into this game unbeaten in five outings, having picked up three wins and two draws. The home side has drawn their last two international games. Their last friendly was actually a 1-1 draw against Russia in a friendly match in June just prior to the World Cup.
Turkey have a strong recent home record on home soil, winning six of their last eight home games. The home side has also been prolific in front of goal on home soil, scoring at least twice in six of their last nine matches.
