This is one of the most intriguing games awaiting us for the weekend football odds. Mircea Lucescu spent 12 years at Shakhtar Donetsk and he knows the Ukrainian football better than anyone. Now, ironically, he makes his debut as the coach of Turkish national team in Kharkiv of all places. Having replaced the legendary Fatih Terim, the Romanian expert knows that win is needed in the World Cup Qualification, UEFA Group I fixture, but the hosts need three points themselves. Both teams are desperate for the big result because their chances of making it to the tournament are not too high, as we show in our Ukraine vs Turkey preview.

This group is the toughest for football forecast, with four teams trying to qualify for Russia. Croatia and Iceland currently lead the standings with 13 points, while the rivals in question are just behind with 11 points. Whoever loses here can kiss the World Cup chances goodbye and a very tough fight can be expected. The hosts have largely been disappointing, but at least, they managed to win 2-1 in Finland in July, keeping their hopes alive. The visitors also used the schedule to win three games in a row, including the 4-1 triumph in Kosovo in their latest fixture. Both are relatively confident, but neither are in top form and that is curious ahead of our Ukraine vs Turkey predictions.

Ukraine vs Turkey Predictions and Betting Advice

Lucescu is very popular in Istanbul, where he worked at Galatasaray and Besiktas in the past, and he is unlikely to lose on his debut. On the other hand, the Ukrainians are very competitive at home and only lost once in the entire campaign so far. The first game between the rivals ended in a 1-1 draw in Istanbul last October and we are likely to witness the same outcome here. Those are our Ukraine vs Turkey betting tips and Betway always offer good odds on draw, which stand at 3.25 this time.
