Kick-off: 18:30 UK

Venue: Sukru Saracoglu Stadium

Turkey Preview

Turkey enter this international friendly enjoying one of their most encouraging periods in recent years after securing qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Vincenzo Montella successfully building a dynamic and technically gifted squad around emerging stars such as Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz, while recent results have strengthened belief that the Crescent Stars can become one of the tournament’s most dangerous outsiders.

North Macedonia Preview

North Macedonia arrive hoping to produce a disciplined performance against higher-level opposition after a difficult recent run of results, though the visitors continue to possess enough defensive resilience and counter-attacking quality to remain competitive when matches become physically demanding, while experienced players such as Eljif Elmas remain crucial to their attacking threat.

Probable Lineups

Turkey (4-2-3-1)

Ugurcan Cakir; Zeki Celik, Ozan Kabak, Bardakci, Ferdi Kadioglu; Calhanoglu, Kokcu; Arda Guler, Yildiz, Akgun; Baris Alper Yilmaz

North Macedonia (3-5-2)

Dimitrievski; Musliu, Velkovski, Zajkov; Ashkovski, Bardhi, Ademi, Elezi, Alioski; Elmas, Miovski

We Say

Turkey should enjoy the majority of possession and attacking momentum because their technical quality and confidence levels are currently far stronger than North Macedonia’s, though the visitors’ defensive organisation could make the contest competitive for periods before Turkey’s greater creativity and attacking depth eventually begin to create decisive openings.
