Spain vs Turkey

, KO: 19:45 , Estadio La Cartuja
Turkey

Spain will look to rubber-stamp top spot in Group E when they take on Turkey in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday night.

Barring an improbable swing in goal difference, Spain are almost certain to take top honours in the section.

Luis de la Fuente’s hosts made it five wins from five in Group E by cruising to a 4-0 success away at Georgia on Saturday night.

The result means Spain are three points clear of Turkey with a superior goal difference of +14 ahead of their final group game this midweek.

As for the visitors, they have guaranteed themselves at least a play-off place after producing a professional display to claim a 2-0 win over Bulgaria last time out.

That victory made it three wins on the bounce for Vincenzo Montella's men, who have impressively racked up a combined total of 12 strikes across that trio of triumphs.

How the bookies view it: Plain sailing for Spain

Given that they are the bookies' favourites to win next year's World Cup, it’s no surprise to see Spain as short as 2/9 on BOYLE Sports to take top honours on Tuesday night.

A Turkey win is trading at a towering 9/1 with BOYLE Sports while a share of the Seville spoils pays 5/1 with the same firm.

Head to head: History favours the hosts

Having trounced Turkey 6-0 in September’s reverse fixture, Spain could hold a major psychological advantage in this week’s return match. Moreover, Spain have come out on top in each of their last four meetings with the Crescent Stars.

Players to watch: Mikel to make his mark?

Mikel Oyarzabal made the net bulge twice against Georgia last time out, making the Spain forward an attractive anytime goalscorer option here at 10/11 on BOYLE Sports.

Arda Guler has hit the target at least once in two of his last three outings for Turkey. The Real Madrid forward is an eye-catching 11/10 to register a minimum of one on-target effort on Tuesday night.

Predicted line-ups

As was the case at the weekend, Spain will once again be without injured quartet Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Pedri and Rodri.

Hakan Calhanoglu has joined Ayberk Karapo, Eren Elmali, Isak Vural and Yunus Akgun in the Turkey treatment room.

Spain: Simon; Porro, Le Normand, Cubarsi, Cucurella; Merino, Zubimendi, Ruiz; Oyarzabal, F Torres, Baena

Turkey: Cakir; Muldur, Demiral, Bardakci, Akaydin; Karazor, Yuksek; Yilmaz, Guler, Yildiz; Akturkoglu

Anything else catch the eye?

Siding with a Spain success alongside under 4.5 goals will bring about a 4/5 play that looks more than fair.

This bet would have been a winning one in four of Spain’s five Group E victories, including each of their two on home soil.

Given that BTTS No has landed in each of Spain’s five Group E games to date, a repeat here offers value at even-money (1/1) on BOYLE Sports.
