Euro 2020 qualifiers match betting preview, tip and TV details
Reykjavik Airport incident likely to add intensity to Iceland-Turkey tussle
Sky Sports, 7.45pm Tuesday
A number of elite European footballing nations have been handed easy games in the final round of fixtures before the season ends, throwing up betting mismatches all over the coupon.
France are 1-33 to bounce back from their stuffing in Turkey by beating Andorra while Germany are similarly short at home to Estonia. When you see Kazakhstan at 1-20 you know it's difficult to find worthwhile bets, but maybe a punt on both teams to score in Iceland v Turkey may bring rewards.
This could be a feisty encounter after an incident at Iceland's airport led to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu calling the team's treatment "unacceptable in terms of diplomatic and humanitarian practice".
He added Turkey would "do what is necessary" in terms of a response after their players were held in customs for a lengthy process and a dish-scouring brush was used instead of a microphone during the scrum of host journalists.
Turkey are looking lively under Senol Gunes, who has successfully selected a number of younger players, resulting in the 2-0 defeat of world champions France on Saturday.
Cengiz Under's flair will be difficult for Iceland to contain but the home side have a direct style which often sees opponents put under pressure without putting together too many passing moves.
Gylfi Sigurdsson is the biggest threat for Iceland, who have scored in 25 of their last 27 World Cup home qualifiers and 13 of the last 15 in European Championship qualifying.
Recommendation
Both teams to score in Iceland v Turkey
1pt 10-11 general
