Turkey vs Romania: Preview
Turkey are unbeaten in their last four international outings and will be a tough nut to crack on home soil.
Looking to end their 24-year wait for a return to the World Cup finals, a home advantage could be huge to their aims.
Manager Vincenzo Montella has seen his side rattle in 14 goals over their last four games so confidence will be naturally high heading into this one.

Romania's form is equally as impressive, having posted three wins across their last four outings.
Mircea Lucescu's men haven't won away from home in 12 months, however, and now would be a great time to end that barren run.
Their last appearance at a World Cup was back in 1998 and an away tie awaits the winner next week with Slovakia or Kosovo.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Turkey 4-2 Romania
FourFourTwo is predicting Turkey to come out on top, although we can see this one being high-scoring, given it's winner-takes-all.
