UEFA Nations League
Turkey vs Russia
12:00 ET

The Crescent Stars' run of draws continued in their previous Group 3 encounter, with Turkey staging a second-half comeback as Hakan Calhanoglu and Ozan Tufan reduced the two goal deficit to a 2-2 stalemate.

Their friendly encounter with Croatia ahead of this game was much the same, with both sides exchanging leads while Cenk Tosun, Deniz Turuc and Cengiz Under all scoring in a 3-3 draw.

Russia followed their opening two wins in Group 3 with two draws against Turkey and Hungary, the latter being a goalless result. They made it 180 minutes without a goal in this round of international fixtures, drawing 0-0 to Moldova, despite a much-changed lineup.
