Prediction: 1-1
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the two friendly countries, face each other at Caykur Didi Stadyumu in a friendly game. Turkey aim to build on a 3-2 victory over Sweden, where they came from two goals behind to beat the Nordic side at Friends Arena. The Turks aim to prepare in the best way possible for the UEFA Nations League match against Russia and we predict that coach Mircea Lucescu is going to field the best possible side against the Balkan Dragons. The Bosnians, on the other hand, kicked off their UEFA Nations League campaign in great manner, with the team beating the likes of Northern Ireland and Austria at the start of the process, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Rize. Edin Dzeko will be the man to watch and we believe that he is going to help Robert Prosinecki’s troops grab something from the match.
Highlighted Player (Oguzhan Ozyakup):
The 23-year-old Netherlands-born Turkish international Oguzhan Ozyakup is a midfielder who started his professional career at Premier League giants Arsenal. Ozyakup arrived to the London-based club as a schoolboy from AZ and went through Arsenal academy, before making his competitive debut in a League Cup match against Shrewsbury Town, when he supplied the assist for Yossi Benayoun in a 3-1 victory.
The Turkish international however failed to break into the first-team and was transferred to Besiktas in 2012. Turkey international has passed the 100-match mark for his club in 2016 and is considered one of the more experienced and most valuable players of the club, despite he is only 23 years of age.
The talented midfielder was subject of intense transfer speculation during the 2016 summer transfer window with Valencia reportedly expressing interest in signing the Turkish footballer, but Ozyakup remained at Besiktas and went on to extend his contract, which will keep him at the Vodafone Arena until 2018.
Highlighted Team (Bosnia & Herzegovina):
Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team have been competiting on the international stage since the country declared independence in 1992. The former Yugoslavian republic did well to book their place at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil, but the Balkan Dragons failed to impress at the showpiece tournament.
Bosnia were beaten by the likes of Argentina and Nigeria in the group stages of the competition, but they gave fans some cheer on June 25, 2014, with the team beating Iran 3-1 in their final group game. The Dragons welcome their rivals at Bilino Polje in Zenica and the capacity of the venue is 15.600. Bosnia play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst the colour of their away kits is white.
Roma attacker Edin Dzeko, who used to play for the likes of Wolfsburg and Manchester City, is undisputedly the team’s most notable footballer. Serie A ace Miralem Pjanic is yet another player to mention as he has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world football.
