Kazakhstan v Turkey: Confirmed Starting XIs

Turkey take on Kazakhstan tonight in a must win game for the Ay Yildizlar in the Euro 2016 qualification campaign. 

Fatih Terim’s side are coming off the back of an impressive 4-0 victory over Bulgaria earlier in the week and the star of the show Hakan Çalhanoğlu will keep his place in the starting lineup.

Terim is fielding a similar side to the team that beat Bulgaria with the only notable changes being left-back Hakan Balta and Mehmet Topal.

Turkey find themselves in forth place after five games with five points. Terim’s side will move into third spot if Latvia pull off a surprise win over the Netherlands.

The Turkish national team have won just one game in Group A and cannot afford to drop any more points if they are to qualify to Euro 2016.
