SlipsTips’ Tips: Take Turkish duo in 10/11 Bet Builder

After delivering a winning combination in Colombia earlier this week, SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder double ahead of Turkey’s World Cup qualifier with Spain on Sunday night.

Turkey vs Spain (Sunday, 19:45)

Both seeking to build on their matchday one victories, Turkey and Spain will square off in a World Cup qualifier at the Torku Arena on Sunday night.

Vincenzo Montella's men made a winning start to their campaign by earning a 3-2 success away at Georgia on Thursday evening.

As for Spain, they made light work of Bulgaria courtesy of a 3-0 victory on Thursday night, with two of my three recommended selections in Sofia proving profitable.

Hakan Calhanoglu To Commit 1+ Foul

For the first leg of what will be a player-based Bet Builder double, I’m going for Hakan Calhanoglu to commit a minimum of one foul on Sunday night. The Turkish skipper tends to find himself in the thick of the action in the midfield battleground, and he should have no shortage of defensive work to get through against what is a star-studded Spanish side.

Calhanoglu committed two fouls during Turkey's 3-2 win over Georgia on Thursday, one of which saw him receive a booking, taking his overall card count for the national team to 14. What’s more, the 31-year-old maestro has now committed one foul or more in eight of his previous 12 appearances for his country.

Given the calibre of opposition that Calhanoglu will be coming up against on Sunday night, a minimum of one foul looks well within the realms of possibility.

Evren Elmali To Commit 1+ Foul

Moving back the way and into Turkey’s defence, I’ll conclude the Bet Builder double by taking Evren Elmali to overstep the mark at least once during this contest. The Turkish left-back was guilty of one offence during his team's aforementioned 3-2 success in Tbilisi last time out, not to mention he racked up a combined total of five misdemeanours across his final four appearances for his country during the group stage of the most recent edition of the Nations League.

With Elmali expected to be in a direct battle with Lamine Yamal on Sunday night, the Galatasaray defender looks like a prime candidate to give away a minimum of one-free-kick. Spanish superstar Yamal tends to find himself on the receiving end of some rough treatment from his opponents, evidenced by the fact that he has drawn a combined total of 23 fouls across his last 11 appearances for his country in meaningful matches.
