Turkey
Fatih Terim’s troops is having high confidence at this stage, after massively restricted Spain’s attacking style in their previous meeting last week.
Halil Altintop (Schalke), Selcuk Sahin (Fenerbache) and Yildiray Basturk (Stuttgart) remain out. Gokhan Zan of Besiktas and Servet Cetin also will not play.
Probable Starting XI: Demirel; Sarioglu, Kas, Emre Asik, Balta; Turan, Mehmet Aurelio, Akman, Tuncay Sanli; Senturk, Nihat.
Spain
Spain are all but home and hosed after a single goal win over Turkey who remain in the race 2nd place and will hope to qualify through the play offs.
Spain is still without Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas. Vicente del Bosque may come up with some changes, David Silva and Albert Riera may start on the flanks and as such it’ll be one up front.
Probable Starting XI: Casillas; Sergio Ramos, Marchena, Albiol, Capdevila; Marcos Senna; Silva, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Riera; Villa/Torres.
