This is a game in Group E of the World Cup in the European qualifiers. The first game of the group stage, both teams won away. Türkiye defeated Georgia 3-2 away with the goal of Fenerbahce's two players - right-back Murduer and single-arrow Akturkogru, but the two goals conceded in the last moment still reminded the Star Moon Legion's defense. Spain made a 38-minute check-in and got off work. Oyazabar, Cucuretta and Merino made contributions one after another, winning Bulgaria 3-0 easily.

Turkish team won the first game and is currently ranked second in the group. The team showed vigorous vitality on the offensive end, with a positive and productive offensive posture. However, the stability of its defense line still needs to be improved, and there are certain hidden dangers. However, when fighting at home, the Turkish team has considerable combat effectiveness and the home advantage cannot be underestimated. The overall strength of the Spanish team is self-evident and can be said to be outstanding. The team has shown high stability on both offense and defense. Its defense is as solid as a rock and sharp and efficient offense, which is worthy of praise. At the same time, the Spanish team's away game ability is also quite outstanding and deserves recognition.

This time the two teams met on a narrow road, and the strong Spanish team undoubtedly has more advantages. I believe they still have enough ability to score three-pointers away to continue their victory.

Although Turkey defeated Georgia 3-2 away and won its first group stage victory, it had loopholes on the defensive end, and the core of the midfielder Ilmaz was sent off by a red card, it was confirmed that he could not play in Spain in this game, which had a great impact on the team's overall strength. Spain won Bulgaria 3-0 away game and successfully won its first victory. The team still controlled the scene. It scored 3 goals in the first half to resolve the battle. The substitute players also put on the court in the second half. The main players have considerable physical reserves. From the perspective of staffing, Spain's core competitiveness is undoubtedly stronger.

The two sides have not met in recent years. Türkiye won the first game and is currently ranked second in the group. The team's defense is relatively stable, and its style of playing against strong teams at home is unstable. There is no need to say much about Spain's overall strength. The team's offensive and defensive stability is obvious to all, and the away game ability is also worthy of recognition. This game can basically be played in a complete lineup, which is still worthy of high expectations. In this match between the two teams, it is optimistic that Spain, which is strong, will still be able to take away three-pointers from the away game.
