Preview: Switzerland - Turkey

I thought after their playoff fireworks; Turkey would be booed last game, but it was close to a home game with fan support for them. Hope the Best Team Wins!

This is a match that could go either way, but Swiss has the home advantage and seems to be more like a team than Turkey. We will understand better if Turkey is bad, or if Portugal made them look bad. But I am concerned for Turkey. Turkey changes it's squad too much. It's difficult to have consistency and team play with this much changes. This problem is beyond being a problem of injuries. I think since the last few years noone can really name the first eleven of Turkey That is not a good sign. Wİth Emre out now, Yıldıray will definately be missed. Despite a loss againts the Czechs, I think Swiss is better prepared than the turkish side. Turks may have chances with individual efforts from Nihat and Arda. But I don't really think they will be able to play like a team. I think this is a match in which we will be impressed once again by Inler and Behrami from Suisse. Suisse will exploit Turkey's weaknesses in dead ball situations. If Tümer plays, he might have an unexpected impact with his technical skills. Also Gökdeniz could prove valuable if he plays, again because of his technical skills. I am not sure though how Arda would perfom if he plays. He is a bit aggressive in big matches and this could make him a bit too nervous and therefore result in wrong decisions on the pitch (including stupid yellow cards)
