Sergen Yalcin takes charge at home for the first time in Izmir, with pride at stake. Belgium need a win to keep the group alive.
For Turkey, little remains but pride: the quarter-finals are gone and survival in League A would take a miracle. Sergen Yalcin, who replaced Vincenzo Montella, leads the side at home for the first time. He says team spirit is excellent, that small adjustments have been made in a short time, and he hopes the Izmir stadium brings luck.
Belgium, by contrast, have a clear task. Third in the group, they must win to keep it open until the final matchday, and the market sees them as clear favourites. Their attacking play, built on plenty of shots and chances, backs that up. With Romelu Lukaku out with a hip problem, more of the burden falls on Charles De Ketelaere, Leandro Trossard and Dodi Lukébakio.
Turkey enjoy plenty of the ball, and Arda Güler, expected in an advanced central role, is their main creative hope. The defence is fragile, though, and with several key players one booking from a suspension, every challenge carries extra weight.
Expect the hosts to start boldly with the crowd behind them, but an early Belgian goal could drain that energy quickly. If Turkey survive the opening quarter of an hour, this could be tighter than the standings suggest.
