Turkey and France are topping the Group H. With 15 points, both teams have lost one match and five wins. After six rounds, we already know which teams have bigger chance to play in Euro 2020.

 

Turkey took three important points from Moldova

After a frustrating game against Andorra, Gune’s team was criticized by everyone in Turkey. Yes, Turkey players could get the last-minute winner against Andorra, but the quality of the game was awful. Players could not shot on target for 88 minutes, and it was a home match. Even the president of Turkey was attending the game, and we could see the disappointment in his eyes.

Before the match, Gune’s met with journalists and talked about the preparations for Moldova. Turkey coach mentioned about players positive mood and easy three points.

As it seems, the match was easy for Turkey. The team scored four goals while conceding zero. Moldova could shot on target only once for 90 minutes. Turkey had up to 80% ball possession and shot seven times on target. The team could convert only four shot into the goal.

Tosun was the man of the match as he scored twice. After a disastrous performance against Andorra, Tosun changed his mood in Moldova and helped the team to secure easy three points.

Turkey is in the first position with 15 points after six games. France is in the same situation but scores more goals than Gune’s team.

 

France 3-0 Andorra

September should have been a disaster for Andorra. Andorra players had two away matches and both against Group H leaders.

We have to cheer Andorra up as they have shown a strong mentality. The team was standing still against Turkey for 88 minutes and only conceded three goals from France.

Stade de France was full and calm. Weather was perfect in Paris, so Parisians were waiting for lots of goals. Vice versa – we saw only three goals from France and teams played a bit boring game.

Coman, Leglet and Ben Yedder scored goals, and France took an easy three points. Griezmann had an average game as he did only one assist.

What’s happening with Griezmann?

In September, France had two home games in Group H. Griezmann was the key French player for both games but he can’t score penalties anymore.

France got two penalties during those games, but French striker could not convert any of them. Griezmann’s penalty shots were too easy for goalkeepers. Both penalties were saved, and Griezmann was laughing loudly after missing it against Andorra. Antonio was a leading penalty taker in Atletico, but everything changed after joining FC Barcelona.
