These two countries have faced each other on a few occasions in the past and they have largely been tightly-fought contests.
Turkey will take to the field for the final time in 2022 on Saturday when they play host to the Czech Republic in a friendly. They would be eager to do well in front of their home supporters one last time this calendar year. However, Turkey will be well aware of the tricky challenge awaiting them in the upcoming contest. Just like the hosts, the Saturday contest will also be the final match of the year for the visitors, hence they will also be keen to sign off with a victory.

Both sides are entering this contest on the back of registering crucial victories in midweek. Turkey had to fight hard to get the 2-1 win over Scotland. That result had brought an end to their two-match winless run. They will look to carry that momentum forward but face a challenging task in the form of the Czech Republic. The visitors trounced Faroe Islands 5-0 in midweek and will be brimming with confidence. Since these two countries are not in the Qatar World Cup, their players will be allowed to take a break after this match. Hence, both teams could name strong lineups and will look to end the year on a positive note.
